Revival - a journal of contemporary poetry.

The White House Poets have for the past three years held their White House Poetry Revival readings in the White House pub in Limerick City, Ireland. The readings have been very successful with a mix of local, national and international poets reading their work to an always appreciative audience. Over a year ago Microphone On - an anthology of poetry read at the White House was published. Now the White House Poets launch 'Revival' a journal of contemporary poetry, in chapbook format, to be published initially four times per year. The first issue will be published on the 18th October 2006 as part of Cuisle - Limerick City International Poetry Festival. Submissions are now being accepted. Deadline for the first issue is 31st August 2006.

*Note: Due to the restrictions of the Chapbook format we request that the poems submitted require no special formatting and should be, ideally, not more than 32 lines plus a title ( we will not publish a 33 or 34 line poem but we may publish a 45 - 60 line poem) also please remember that lines longer than 65 characters, including spaces, will run over onto the next line; so in order to prevent line drops in formatting try and keep the poems within this guideline.
