Subject: Poetry Submission for a Book Project
Hello to all my friends:
Namaste! I am seeking poetry submissions for a poetry anthology book. Send me your BEST poems in a personal email. You can send up to 3 original poems. Please include your real name with your entry. My vision is to have an anthology of poems by more or less 100 poets here in Zaadz. The working title is "100 Poets: A Poetic Revolution." Your real name will appear after your poem along with your profile address at zaadz.
This poetry anthology is an idea project for the pod that I founded which is Book Lovers, Readers, Listeners, Learners, BookSwappers. Please join us if you are not a member yet. Progress report of this anthology project will be posted in the pod. Please do not post your poem submission in the pod, send it to me in a personal email. I am also looking for a graphic artist who can submit and donate for free an original artwork for the cover of the book. This you can post in the Book Lovers pod in the folder dedicated to this project titled "Book Lovers' Poetry Anthology Book Project", and we can vote on which artwork to be on the cover. The remaining ones may be included inside the book.
One hundred percent of the royalties from the sale of this book will be donated to charities. You can suggest organizations in the pod and we can vote on whom to give it to. One of my dreams is to have my name in a book amongst the millions of books in some of the greatest libraries in the world. Upon completion I will donate copies of this book to;
- Harvard University - the oldest university in USA founded in 1636
- University of Santo Tomas - one of the oldest universities in Asia that first opened in1611 and started granting degrees in 1624 and is in the Philippines.
- Library of Congress - the oldest federal cultural institution in USA
- Bibliothèque nationale de France
- New York Public Library
- National Library of Canada
You can also post your suggestions of libraries in the pod.
Will you join me in this vision? Write about this in your blog and pods you belong to.

Thank you for your time.
In Oneness,

Always lit in the right way, Samme, I pray this comes to full fruition. I also hope I write something worthy for your project :)
God be with you,
C.J.
great idea! and are the poems usable elsewhere? or what if they're published elsewhere already?
just wondering how that will be handled.
exclusive use? or non-exclusive?
thanks,
Ocean
Awesome, I have a large collection of original poetry I can submit. Please give me your e-mail address so that I can send you my best few (I will send 5 so that you can pick the best 3).
Also, I am an amateur photographer/graphic designer, and I would love to help in anyway for this project or others you might be working on. My e-mail is funkybeatnik@aim.com">funkybeatnik@aim.com, so just send any graphical proposels that way, and I would delight in spending some time with them.
Namaste,
Justin Epps
Hello. Yes, I would love to add to your anthology. I hope that I can send you some of my poetry and you might make the decision from what you feel is appropriate.
