This evening we’ve launched Prole, issue 11. This is another collection of great poetry and story. We are constantly amazed and humbled by what we are offered, and we do have to turn down excellent writing as we just don’t have space for everything.
Copies are available off our homepage.
Other news:
· Along with issue 11, we are also launching Sue Millard’s pamphlet, Ash Tree. When this was first submitted to us, we both blubbed like babies. There’s the usual Prole quality and accessibility – but there’s power too.
Sue Millard's Ash Tree is a poetic testament of love and grief; the journey of a grandchild's battle through cancer with grandmother as witness and chronicler. The poems touch on hope, anger, frustration, despair and love. Yet, the poet curbs sentimentality, resulting in writing that has a weight, balance and assurance that engages the reader.
· The Prolitzer Prize for Prose writing is open for submissions until the end of December. There’s £200 and publication on offer. Details here:
· And finally, we remain open to submissions all year round.
