ECCENTRIC ORBITS is an anthology of speculative poetry. It is an annual volume sponsored by Dimensionfold Publishing.
This is a call for the fifth volume of Eccentric Orbits. We are looking for all forms of poetry that deal with speculative subjects. Science fiction, fantasy, or horror. You are encouraged to submit up to five long poems per poet, but in the case of speculative haiku, I ask that you group your ku in sets of 3 or 4 poems on a given speculative theme. I will count these groupings as one poem slot in the book. While I realize that haiku forms are not always titled, please give me a title for your grouping of poems for the table of contents. All poets can submit a mix of forms. In other words, you could submit one grouping of haiku and four longer form poems, as an example. Please submit new original poetry. No reprints.
There is no pay for inclusion in the anthology. You will be given a free pdf copy of the book and the means to purchase copies for your own use at a discounted price via Dimensionfold Publishing. We ask for first publication rights of your poetry for use in the anthology, but once the anthology is published, all rights to your work will revert back to you.
Please send your submissions to wendy@dimensionfold.com with ECCENTRIC ORBITS all in caps in the title of your email.
Submissions will be open Feb 1st 2024 and will close on April 30th, 2024.
