New possible venue for poetry films: El Aleph Press
Based in New York and Philadelphia, El Aleph Press aims to produce “hand-bound editions of poetry, short stories, and artistic graphic novels,” but despite this emphasis on artisanal print publication, for their first anthology they are open to digital submissions of short film and interactive media as well as poetry, fiction, art, comics, and reviews. Here are the guidelines.
(Thanks to Martha McCollough for the heads-up. See also our full list of journals where videopoets can submit work.)
