Call for Essays, Interviews, Reviews, Art, Photography, Fiction, and Poetry for Issue III: “Working” Deadline: 8/31/05. The Editors at Your Black Eye: An e-Journal for Critical Consciousness, are pleased to announce the publication of our second issue, available now at Your Black Eye.
We currently invite submissions for our third issue, with particulars as follows:
The theme for the third issue is “Working.” The sub-theme is “Werkel.” For the main theme, we invite submissions from any perspective and any genre that directly or indirectly treat the idea of work-see basic submission guidelines below. For the sub-theme, we have in mind short pieces like those found in Studs Terkel’s classic book, Working (1972), and the similar but more contemporary Gig (2000), edited by John Bowe, Marisa Bowe, and Sabin Streeter. Both books provide short, first-person narratives in which, as Terkel’s subtitle states, “people talk about what they do all day and how they feel about what they do.” We would be interested in receiving recordings of spoken word performances, rants, rap, and original music.
GENERAL SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Photos, Paintings, Sculpture, Drawings: (jpg, bmp, gif). Videos: 10 minutes or less in Real Player or Windows Media Player formats. Music: 10 minutes or less (mp3, wmv).
