Upcoming Readings and Calls for Poetry For over twenty years, Woman Made Gallery has offered stimulating and educational programs with a focus on women artists, performers and writers who share an interest in the interaction of the arts in contemporary culture. Over the past few years, the poetry series has ventured into the community, with readings at Chicago Public Library and the Poetry Foundation’s Printer’s Ball. During the month of May, Woman Made Gallery is proud to be a partner in the 2013 Bodies of Work Festival , a dynamic, international, 11-day celebration that explores the contributions of artists with disabilities, the contemporary contexts of disabled lives, and works that illuminate disability experiences. The following reading is part of this festival:Sunday, May 19, 2013 / 1:30-3:30 p.m. / Free Our society tries to press women and men into a standard mold, but few bodies conform to the way they are "supposed to" look or behave. Co-curated by Nina Corwin and Deborah Kent, Woman Made Gallery will explore the experiences of people whose uncommon bodies lead them to live outside the expected norms. Poet and performer, Pennie Brinson, poet Lily Diego; essayist and novelist Deborah Kent; nonfiction writer and editor, Sarah Hollenbeck; and acclaimed performance artist Tekki Lomnicki, and others will share original work that is informed by, but not limited to, the experience of living with a disability. This reading will include closed-captioning. All literary events are wheelchair accessible All poetry events are organized and hosted by noted writers and poets who are members of Woman Made Gallery. The current poetry series is curated by Nina Corwin. Poetry events are free and open to the public with light refreshments served. For questions please contact WMG at gallery@womanmade.org.
Submission Guidelines for Woman Made Literary Events If you are interested AND available to attend the reading on the date/time specified, send three to four poems IN THE BODY of an e-mail (no attachments) AND a brief bio (150 word max) to gallery@womanmade.org with Reading Submission (specify theme) in the subject line. We will contact you if your work is chosen. If you have not heard from us within three to four weeks of the reading, it is safe to assume that your work has not been selected. That being said, we will try to respond to you in any case. If you are not selected, please understand that we are volunteers programming to meet several criteria as best possible, representing the best of a diversity of themes, styles etc. To that end, we will review the first 15 submissions sent to us, looking further only as needed to reach these ends. While we would love to pay our readers, please note that we are not able to do so at this time. Readers are welcome to bring books for sale at the time of the event. In the meantime, come to our readings. See what we're doing and support woman in the arts.
