ASM / Flying Islands are now calling for
contributions for a new project – a bilingual parallel text volume of
Australian and New Zealand Poetry for Children and Young Adults.
Deadline for contributions is Sunday December 2 nd, 2012. (Please
feel free to send work as soon as you have it to hand!) Previously
published work is acceptable, but in this case please provide the
proper accompanying acknowledgements.
It is hoped that selection of
poems to be published will be made by the end of the year, that
translation processes will be completed in the first half of 2013, and that the
book will be published (initially by ASM in Macao) by the end of
2013.
No payment is offered for inclusion in the volume, but if it is
possible to sell it on to a Mainland, Taiwan or Singapore publisher,
then payment/royalties arrangements would be negotiated
at such a time.
Please send contributions to me (KitKelen@umac.mo) in word file attachments. Please identify the project (ANZ poems
for the young Chinese reader) and your name in the subject line of the
email and in the title of the file you are sending.
Please include
contact details and a short biographical note in your word file with
your poem/s. It will be helpful if you can include notes for the
translator to accompany the poem (though please note that it is not our
intention [at this point in time] to publish these with the volume.
Your notes will however be very helpful in the translation process.
Best wishes to all
