Adanna: Call for Submissions


 A new print journal is about to enter the literary world. It's called Adanna, a name of Nigerian origin, pronounced a-DAN-a, and defined as “her father’s daughter.” As the name indicates, this journal is dedicated to women. Work appearing in the journal will in some way reflect women's issues and celebrate womanhood. However, it is not exclusive; men are welcome to contribute their thoughts about women today. As the bright red cover suggests, we hope for a lively, passionate journal.

Adanna: A Journal for Women, about Women will be an annual perfect bound print book publication, first issue Summer 2011.

Editor: Christine Redman-Waldeyer
Guest Editor: Diane Lockward

    Diane, does "unpublished" extends to poems that have appeared on blogs?

    If the poem has appeared and remained on a blog, then we consider that published. If it appeared very very briefly for feedback and then went poof and underwent revision, then it's okay. We would not want it to show up in a google search.
