BREAKING OUR SILENCE, SHARING OUR STORIES
Open Call For Submissions
December 21st, 2019 Through March 20, 2020
Selkie Noticia is a non-fiction anthology on the theme of breaking silence. Our contributors are people of diverse backgrounds, experiences and identities, each of us carrying a story we once kept silent, but now feel ready to share. It is our belief that by listening to each other as we tell the tale, we create a container of courage, empathy and connection in which healing can occur.
Contributions may include (and are not limited to) writings on the themes of:
abortion, addiction, aging, birth, chronic illness, cult mindset, culture, death, disability, dying, family, friendships, gender, healing, incarceration, injury, law enforcement, loss, love, manipulation, military service, miscarriage, organized religion, parenting, rebirth, race, recovery, relationships, sexual identity, sexuality, spirituality, trauma

“Calling All Poets has successfully created a diverse community of poets and writers who support one another. Whenever I’m there, I feel as if I am part of something bigger, a movement in the arts. In addition, they have embraced technology, streaming readers outside the area live and broadcasting the events online. Calling all Poets is the best series in the Hudson Valley!"

“CAPS is about poetry of course. But it's also about community, how it's actually created a community of diverse personalities and backgrounds that come together each month to speak in the one language we all know. The spoken word. Every month there's a mark on the calendar that we all look forward to.”

“Poetry in the Hudson Valley is as important to American culture in the 21st century as the Hudson River School of Painting was in the 19th century and Calling All Poets is at the forefront.”

"The Hudson Valley is one of the most vibrant and exciting poetry regions in the country and Calling All Poets at the Howland Cultural Center in Beacon is a centerpiece for the power of words. I feel fortunate to be part of this creative current and to be able to share the art of language with the hundreds of writers I’ve met and whose works I’ve been able to read and hear over the years.”
