[Reader-list] Call for Submissions for Literary Journal

[Janice Pariat]

Sending out a call for submission for Pyrta's Spring (2012) issue.

Pyrta is a journal of poetry and other things based in Shillong. a small
hill-station town in Meghalaya, India.
It aims to be a vibrant multicultural space - we'd like voices from all
over to contribute quality work categorised broadly under Poetry, Photo
Essays, Prose, Sketches and Local morsels.

For this issue, we're thrilled to have Sridala Swami as a special guest
editor – she will be selecting & coordinating work for the poetry and photo
essay sections of Pyrta.

Note from Sridala: "I'm looking for poems that are not disposable, that
survive the first reading. I'm also looking for work that stands at the
intersection of forms: if you're working with text and image, text and
sound, visual poems, do send them in."

Bio note: Sridala Swami writes poetry, short fiction and books for
children. Her first collection of poems, *A Reluctant Survivor,* was
published by The Sahitya Akademi in 2007. She has written three books for
very young children, which were published by Pratham in 2009. Her last
exhibition of photography, *Posting the Light: Dispatches from Hamburg*,
was a text and image experiment and opened at Kalakriti Art Gallery in
November 2009. Swami was the 2011 Charles Wallace Writer-in-Residence at
The University of Stirling, Scotland. She blogs at The Spaniard In The
Works<http://spaniardintheworks.blogspot.com/>
.

Rolling submissions, so no deadline. We're nice like that.
