Call for Submissions: Maintenant 6 Dada Poetry + Art + Film Journal

Be a part of the 5th annual Three Rooms Press New York DaDa Poetry Salon, by submitting your DaDa-inspired poetry, art or video to Maintenant6, A Journal of Contemporary Dada Poetry & Art. 

Our concept is inspired by DaDa instigator and Three Rooms Press spiritual advisor Arthur Cravan —who created the very first ‘zine in the world with his publication Maintenant and we’re proud to carry on the tradition.

We’re excited about this year’s new perfect bound format, and we’re looking for the best Neo-Dada work ever to publish.

In the past four annual issues, we received increasingly bolder work from Neo-Dadaists worldwide. We are now honored to be included in the Museum of Modern Art Archives.

DECLARE ART ON WAR!!!

Please submit short pieces—full of the intensity and madness
that reflect the age we live in. Poems should be no longer
than 20 lines.

As for art: We LOVE Dada-inspired poetic word art, collage and photography. All art must be submitted in jpeg format, high resolution (300 dpi, 4×5 in). Black & White only.

Also, This Year (for the first time) —We're looking for short
(1-5 minute max) Dada inspired videos which will be posted
on the upcoming Three Rooms Press Maintenant series website.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: JANUARY 31, 2012

Maintenant6 will be distributed at the Three Rooms Press
DaDa Poetry Salon on Friday, March 16th, 2012.

BOWERY POETRY CLUB

Three Rooms Press launches its latest release with a thrilling book launch full of powerful multimedia readings and music on Sunday, November 6, 8 p.m. at the world-famous Bowery Poetry Club (308 Bowery, New York, NY, (212) 614-0505).

You Are White Inside by B.R. Lyon (Three Rooms Press, ISBN 978-0-9835813-2-1) is a fierce new poetry collection by a fine and fearless New York-based poet, featuring work largely inspired by his real-life, ongoing, intimate relationship with a Muslim man in Cairo, Egypt. Daring and innovative, Lyon seeks fresh angles and inspiring language with equal touches of awe, shock, and tenderness.

In addition, Hala Alyan, Peter Carlaftes, Kat Georges and Jane Ormerod will present phenomenal multimedia previews of their upcoming books. 

PLUS: the event will feature a rare performance by downtown's great rockin' r&b band The J.D.s, headed by soulful crooner Bob Musial.
