SUBMISSIONS: must be good. Previously unpublished is preferred
but not strictly enforced. Poems can be short or long, fiction is
limited to 4,000 words. The guidelines have been relaxed to include
submissions from those other than the dedicated inhabitants of
these "mean streets", i.e. those who are connected to Hamilton in
some way other than taxationally. Writers who grew up in
Hamilton; writers who studied/study in Hamilton; writers
who love Hamilton; writers who hate Hamilton; writers who visit
Hamilton for whatever reason. We know you can think of
something. (By the way, submissions do NOT have to be ABOUT
Hamilton.) Payment for inclusion is one copy of the journal mailed
to the destination of your choice. E-mail attachment submissions
preferred. Mail a hard copy as well if you have specific fomat
concerns. ALWAYS include a brief bio (ie. 50 words) with
each submission and mention your connection to Hamilton
(however flimsy.) Also please do not send more than 5 poems at a
time.
