3. Kim Roberts is working with co-editors JoAnn Balingit and Jeffrey Lamar Coleman to solicit work for a special issue of the Delaware Poetry Review, "This Thing Called Life": Poetry Inspired by the Music and Spirit of Prince. The journal, founded in 2007, has until now been a curated venue, and not open to submissions. But the next issue will not only be open, it will be the first issue of the journal with a theme-a nice departure for the periodical, and one sure to bring in a wider range of authors.
Prince Rogers Nelson was a prolific and experimental studio musician and a dynamic, improvisational live performer whose career spanned nearly forty years (1978-2016). During that period, he mastered multiple instruments, explored various genres of music (from Jazz to Rock and Roll), created his own unique "Minneapolis Sound," fought for the publishing rights of artists and attracted a diverse and passionate fan base. In addition, his seemingly endless fount of creativity and disciplined work ethic (he released no fewer than 39 albums) inspired artists of all walks of life, including those of us who express ourselves in lines and stanzas.
Delaware Poetry Review invites writers to submit previously unpublished poems inspired by some aspect of Prince's music, genius and eclectic creative spirit. Writers are also encouraged to interpret this theme on a broader level and address how other factors relate to Prince, including but not limited to, the music industry, concert culture, Paisley Park, media (mass and social), fellow artists, etc. Authors may send up to 5 previously unpublished poems by the deadline of midnight on July 15. Full information on the issue can be found at: depoetry.com/pages/princepage.html
