Arc's Forgotten and Neglected Issue

Get it off your chest. Argue the case in Arc for one of your favourite, long-forgotten or neglected poets from Canada’s literary history.
Arc is now accepting proposals for essays to appear in Forgotten and Neglected, Arc 58, Summer 2007. Convince us that the poet you admire belongs in our collective literary consciousness, and that you can write an engaging, lively and informative essay about the merits of his or her work or legacy…

- Authors of accepted proposals must submit their essays by the deadline
- Authors of accepted proposals must secure permission (where necessary) to reprint samples of the featured poet’s work
- Authors of accepted proposals will receive payment of $40 per page upon publication of their work in Arc
- Completed essays should run no longer than 3,500 words
- Subject must not have been the principal focus of a festschrift or other form of tribute or scholarly reckoning in journal or book form
