POETRY CRITICISM FEATURED ARTIST CONTRIBUTORS GUIDELINES ABOUT TIMELINE
Submission Guidelines for Essays

ezzo Cammin welcomes submissions of essays on any aspect of poetry in form by women. Suggested topics include studies of the work of a single author or group of authors; studies of how women have treated a particular form (such as the sonnet, or experimental forms); or controversies surrounding women writers and form (such as canonization or evolving attitudes toward poetic form).
Although we do not require essays to focus primarily or exclusively on formal elements of the poetry discussed, we do expect that essay writers will include some commentary on form as a way of illuminating their arguments.
     Although we do not require essays to focus primarily or exclusively on formal elements of the poetry discussed, we do expect that essay writers will include some commentary on form as a way of illuminating their arguments. We do not limit our purview to the twentieth century, or to poetry in English; however, we do ask you to provide translations if you submit an essay on women poets who write in languages other than English. Also, for essays accepted for publication in Mezzo Cammin, we may ask the writer to assist us in obtaining permission to quote coyrighted material. Unfortunately, at this time we do not pay for essays. We plan to run special features on a particular author or topic at least every other issue; the new topic will be announced in the preceding issue. Our preferred length is 5000 words (20 pages) but shorter or longer pieces may be considered. Please follow MLA citation format.

     Please submit essays or queries as e-mail attachments in Microsoft Word.doc format, to: essays@mezzocammin.com

     The special topic for the essay section of Mezzo Cammin's next issue will be the work of Julia Randall.

Poetry Submission Guidelines

     Mezzo Cammin welcomes submissions of poetry that pays particular consideration to form. Poems in structured forms are especially welcome, but poems that use form in interesting and experimental ways are also encouraged. Translations are acceptable as long as the original is also included.

     Please submit four-six poems in the body of an e-mail to editor@mezzocammin.com.
