Living and Writing "Between Fences"
The Wyoming Council for the Humanities and the Wyoming Arts Council have announced a call for poetry, short fiction and creative nonfiction submissions for their upcoming Between Fences Anthology. The Humanities Council writes: "In Wyoming we live between fences. Although they often go unnoticed, fences frame our homes, ranches, roadsides, schoolyards, cemeteries and even wild lands. We invite your poems, short fiction and short essays about Wyoming fences: How do they divide and unite us? What do we fence in, and fence out? Writers may consider fences in their visible forms on the landscape and/or the invisible fences that separate us on the basis of race, religion and economic status." Wyoming Poet laureate David Romtvedt has agreed to serve as the book’s editor. Deadline is Feb. 10, 2007. Send submissions to: Between Fences Anthology, Wyoming Humanities Council, 1315 E Lewis St., Laramie WY 82070.
