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.

Ism Is a Retrovirus

Inheriting Craziness is LIke a Soft Halo of Light

Thomas Fucaloro's spectacular first collection of poetry is a beautiful, raw, intense read. According to Emily Kagan Trenchard, curator of the louderARTS Project, "Thomas Fucaloro’s particular gift is to harness the crazed wisdom at the bottom of the bottle, to scrape a fleck of beauty from the underside of a binge, and to call madness by a name so familiar we can’t help but recognize it in ourselves." In these 57 poems, Fucaloro brings to light new angles of perception of madness, addiction and modern urban living. Each poem takes risks in form and content. As author Jon Sands notes, "To read Thomas is to literally discover each line with him. There's really nothing he won't say. He's as surprised as you are."

DRUNKYARD DOG

DrunkYard Dog by Peter Carlaftes is a collection by a new poetic master who has honed his intense, insightful and inspiring poetic voice on the playgrounds of the Bronx, and the bars of Manhattan. Tales of bartender blues and bliss, injected with hope in a mileau of madness swirl into a powerful poetic cocktail. Carlaftes offers a brilliant poetic voice, filled with drop-dead humor, searing insight and resilient originality, even while resonating with overtones of Bukowski, Baudelaire and Bogart.

TRIUMPH FOR RENT

Playwright Peter Carlaftes presents three compelling, funny and biting dramas in Triumph for Rent: Three Plays (Three Rooms Press, 182 pages, 2010). The plays include Spin-Dry: An hilarious wild ride through a 90s rehab center for celebrities; Hunger: inspired by the Knut Hamsun novel; and Frontier A-Go-Go, a time travel piece uniting the hippie 60s, nerd/rave 90s and techno future. "As with Strindberg, Beckett, or even Satre—Carlaftes' message seems to be something we intuit . . . like music." SF Weekly.

MARY ANDERSON'S ENCORE

In “Mary Anderson’s Encore,” award-winning international playwright Larry Myers explores the great American tragedienne, Mary Anderson, who skyrocketed to fame with her first role, and retired by age 30. Called by the New York Daily News “One of Off-Broadway’s wittiest & more prolific playwrights,” Myers’ works have been seen in Rome, Italy at Teatro Olimpico & Scotland’s Edinburgh Festival, as well as Anchorage, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Louisville, San Francisco & Los Angeles.
