I’m delighted to share the news that I’ve been asked to be the guest poetry editor for the next issue of Stone Canoe. From now until July 8 we’ll be reading poetry for issue 13 to appear in 2019. I’m thrilled to join the team for the next issue and excited to read what you have to send us!

Stone Canoe, a journal of arts and ideas from Upstate New York, was founded at Syracuse University’s University College, and is now published by The YMCA’s Downtown Writers Center, at the Arts Branch of the YMCA of Greater Syracuse.

In order to be eligible to submit, you must have a first-person connection to Upstate New York, but the poems submitted can be about anything at all. The work does not need to involve New York State. For simplicity’s sake, we current define “Upstate” as that portion of the state which is outside of New York City and Long Island. Examples of qualifying connections include but are not limited to: being born here, even if you moved away later; going to college at an upstate school such as SUNY Binghamton, Ithaca College, Syracuse University, etc.; working in the area currently or at some point in the past.
