- Got a book? Forrest Gander will be judging Drunken Boat’s inaugural book contest in poetry, open to any work of poetry in English (hybrid, multi-authored, and translations into English).

- Poetry Comix & Animation Folio. Guest-edited by Michael A. Chaney andMarco Maisto. Along with short animations, we are open to static comix (especially comics poetry) as well as more dynamic, web-based and digital graphic novel constructions. Particularly for comics poetry, we are more interested in work that expresses itself as comics and poetry simultaneously, rather than work that merely illustrates a poem. We want work that makes the relationship between language and art more tense than intuitive, more associative than referentially grounded. Deadline is May 15, 2014.https://drunkenboat.submittable.com/submit/28339
- Affrilachian Arts Folio. Guest-edited by Kalela Williams. We are looking for submissions of literary and artistic pieces created by, or inspired by, voices of color from the Appalachian region. We are especially looking for work that juxtaposes place and displacement, questioning and confronting how one shapes cultural and personal identity within a physical setting. Submissions of prose, poetry, art, or performance-based work (such as spoken word poetry) will be accepted. Deadline is May 15, 2014. Submit previous unpublished (or published in a small circulation print journal) work.https://drunkenboat.submittable.com/submit/28412
We’ll be posting updates along the way on the Drunken Boat blog, Twitter, Facebook, and our brand-new Tumblr account. If you haven’t yet joined us on these social media platforms, get busy!
