Another Open Call
Here is an open call from Setu for December-2020 Special edition to be guest edited by the eminent trilingual poet-writer-photographer-singer-surgeon Rameshwer Singh:
Title: Seeking Solace and Sublime: Nature and Creative Cognition
Concept: Any creative piece that tries to locate the spiritual, divine, blissful in nature and natural splendour---in settings urban/rural/ wild. A verbal or visual search for the sublime and meaningful in an ecosystem that, despite recent degradation by industrial civilization, still continues to inspire and motivate the best of the human minds through expression, communication and consumption of artistic products. Of romantic or mysterious encounters on lonely nights in the woods; on silent dawns and melancholic dusks around the bends of sad rivers; of glimpsing tree, bird, sky and sea spirits in a Shellyean or Keatsian trance--- phenomena: the primeval springs of deep cognition, serious art and philosophy across time-space continuum.
Please send your best five poems or a single prose piece (fiction) or five pictures around this broad theme for consideration: [email protected]
Deadline: December 15th.
Best of luck!
1. Amma's Gospel
2. Solitude and Other Poems
3. English Pronunciation Dictionary for Hindi Speakers
