November 2024 Poetry Callout

 Food, Glorious, Food!

Food is a fundamental of survival, and yet, it has become so much more. It can be a means of celebration, an acknowledgement of tradition or culture, a catalyst for community synergy, a tool for wielding power, a symbol or both privilege and want.
Our call for the next Poetry Corner in November asks you to explore food in all its broad significance – from our hedonistic desire for the delicious to the threat of food insecurity and hunger, and beyond. We want to hear, in poetic form, your thoughts about food in all its flavours.

As usual, poems should be:

• Original and unpublished in any medium(no poems submitted elsewhere, please);
• No more than 30 lines each;
• On any aspect of the theme within the bounds of public discourse; and
• Submitted on or before Monday, October 28, 2024.

Poets in the National Capital Region of all ages welcome (school-age poets, please indicate your grade and school). Please send your entries (up to 5 poems that meet the criteria) to editor@glebereport.ca. Remember to send us your contact information and your grade and school if you are in school.

Deadline: Monday, October 28, 2024
