Bombay Gin

Jason McDonald of The Big Idea asked me to pass this information along to you all:

Bombay Gin is the literary journal for The Jack Kerouac School (where I am getting my MFA). The school was founded by Anne Waldman and Allen Ginsberg in 1974. Bombay Gin publishes the likes of Amira Baraka and Lawrence Ferlinghetti (two of my favorites) and many others.

I have been talking up a storm to the editors about the quality of literature coming from Kentucky. I hope you all will send in something.

The theme for this coming issue is diversity and multitudes. Here are the guidelines:

Submissions for Bombay Gin may be submitted between Sept. 1 and postmarked no later than Dec. 1.
Submissions must be previously unpublished and will not be returned. Include a SASE so we can respond to you promptly once selections have been made in March.

Include:
Cover Page with contact info
1-3 pages of poetry
1-8 pages of prose
Translation rules are the same as for the original work in that genre
3-5 art pieces submitted on CD
Limited to one submission of poetry or prose. Do not include name on any submission pieces.

Jason has been keeping a great journal of his experiences at Naropa. I recommend it for good reading. Try, for example, this entry about Naropa’s Small Press & Journal Fair in which he talks about meeting Brandy Vickers, now a reader at Houghton Mifflin, who got her start at Joseph-Beth. All roads lead to Kentucky, I tell you.
