What's up for 2010...
I'm hoping to have the winter issue of blossombones up and running by Monday, at the latest. We'll be featuring Molly Gaudry's digital chapbook, Anatomy for the Artist.
I'm slogging along, moving slower than I plan (as always), so just in case I'm running a few days late (our new reading period begins on Monday, February 1st), I'd like to preview our latest call for submissions:
Call For Submissions: The Freud Issue
Open reading period: February 1st – April 30th
Blossombones is seeking submissions of poetry, short fiction and critical prose that represent a feminist or woman-centered response to the work of Sigmund Freud, with particular emphasis on alternative models of the psychoanalytic process posed by women.
We ask that women only submit work for the summer 2010 issue.
The Freud Issue will be guest-edited by Kristina Marie Darling.
Kristina Marie Darling is a graduate of Washington University. She's the author of several chapbooks, including Fevers and Clocks (March Street Press, 2006), The Traffic in Women (Dancing Girl Press, 2006), and Night Music (Blaze Vox Books, 2008). A two-time Pushcart Prize nominee, her writing appears or is forthcoming in issues of The Gettysburg Review, The Boston Review, Shenandoah, The Colorado Review, and other periodicals. Awards include residencies at the Vermont Studio Center and the Prairie Center of the Arts, as well as a scholarship from the Squaw Valley Community of Writers' annual poetry conference. Her website is KristinaMarieDarling.blogspot.com.
Please submit all work and queries regarding this specific issue of blossombones to KristinaMarieDarling@yahoo.com
All other general queries regarding the journal may be sent to editor Susan Slaviero: susan.blossombones@gmail.com
Our general guidelines still apply: simultaneous submissions are fine, no multiple subs during a single reading period, and please query our guest editor if you’re considering sending a longer piece. We expect a few longer pieces will be published in this issue, as we’re interested in critical as well as creative work.
***
The summer issue should go live sometime around July 1st. Don't forget to submit your work on or before April 30th.

New Literary Journals!
Hello all!
Just a reminder: blossombones is closed to submissions until February, when we will reopen with some new guidelines, so keep an eye on the blog for updates! I know we've been remiss in posting regularly. Life is crazy, yo.
If you are looking for places to send your poetry and prose, please consider a few cool new journals on the literary scene:
The Medulla Review is taking submissions through September 30th! You should totally send them some of your wordtastic genius.
You might also consider submitting to A Trunk of Delirium
I'm pretty sure a website is under construction! In the meantime, they are open to submissions via email, so I'm posting the guidelines below:
A Trunk of Delirium is a new bi-annual publication of literary and artistic works seeking the finest available from both established and as yet known creators. A subsidiary of Le’ Pink Elephant Press, we open the lid to accept poetry, prose, flash fiction, reviews, interviews, translations, essays, plays, and artworks of all printable forms. Submissions are now giddily accepted at atrunkofdelirium@yahoo.com.
Editors: Suzanne Savickas & Cheryl Townsend
Publication will be in both web space and print, the later being perfect bound and truly a delight to behold.
Subscriptions $15.00
Guidelines
We want what we want. We don't want what you don't want. No discards, please. We may be a trunk, but we're not a trash bin.
We like edgy. We like taking chances. We appreciate wordplay, as long as it's new and we're envious. Shock us with your creativity. Make us worship your innovative liberties with language. Please limit poetry to 7 poems at a time and we'd really, really prefer they be within the e-mail...NOT sent as 7 separate attached documents. If you do send your submission as an attachment, please paste them all into one. Then send them on with "poetry" and your name in the subject line of the e-mail.
We do not want anything racist, sexist, homophobic, or even insinuating as such. We cringe at rhymed verse and "phone txt" cutesisms.
We also accept fiction, reviews, interviews, translations, hybrid, prose poetry, and artworks. These may be sent as an attachment with their genre and your name in the subject line of the e-mail. We like letters, so feel free to blather away when submitting. Tell us how you heard about us & why you want to be in the trunk. We also like hearing how amazingly gorgeous we are and gladly accept presents of priceless art, musical CD's, chocolates and eco cars.
Send your submissions to atrunkofdelirium@yahoo.com
*Happy Fall Submitting!!*

Reminder :)
We're accepting submissions for the Marked issue through April 30th. The deadline is approaching fast, so if you're thinking about sending a little poetry or prose our way, be sure to do so within the next couple of days!
If you've sent me a submission and are waiting to hear back, I hope to finish reading and responding by the end of May, at the very latest. We'll go live sometime in June with some absolutely fabulous poetry, prose, and artwork.
Sorry for our overall lack of blogginess! Mel & I have been super busy with work-type stuff. You know how it is...
Hope everyone is enjoying Springtime!
