Printemps des poètes PLU Zine 2024
Call for submissions for Printemps des Poètes 2024
Paris Lit Up is planning an event for the Printemps des Poètes 2024. On this occasion, we will be launching a small print publication that will explore the use of English as a literary language and its potential to create a shared space for poetic expression.
For this publication, we are looking for poetry that is either translated into or from English. Pieces must be submitted in two languages: an original and a translation. One of these languages, the source or the target language, must be in English. The translation may be self-translated or translated by a collaborator.
Please keep your submission under 40 lines. Multiple submissions are not allowed. The selected poets will be invited to read at the event in Paris on March 16 and March 23 2024.
We are specifically, but not exclusively, looking for writers and translators with a connection to Paris. We also encourage poets to explore the theme la grâce/grace as the theme of this year’s Printemps de Poètes.
Call for submissions ends on 14th of February, 2024.
