High Chair Journal 18: Call for Submission

High Chair 18 will be a special issue on poetry comics. The journal is inviting writers and artists to submit poems, essays, and reviews for possible inclusion in the eighteenth issue of High Chair’s online poetry journal, which will be released in May this year. Christian Tablazon and Mike David are the Guest Editors for this issue.

The editors are interested in individual submissions and collaborations that explore and rethink the interplay (and limits thereof) between text and image resulting in poems, works that employ graphics as a constituent of poetry and exploit the affinities of poetry and comics’ in their attention to and use of space, ellipses, segmentation, juxtaposition, braiding, etc., as opposed merely to illustrated poems and visual or concrete poetry.

Submissions in Filipino and English are welcome. Please visit the site to get a more comprehensive idea as regards the work they do and the poetry and essays they publish. The deadline for submission is on April 30, 2013.

High Chair is a non-profit independent press based in the Philippines. Its first online issue went live in 2002 and has, over the years, published more than 30 chapbooks and full-length collections in English and Filipino.
