Call for Materials (Art, Writing, etc.) on Food: Vice-Versa Journal, Voices from Hawai‘i and the Pacific
Deadline: 21 December 2010


Issue #7 • Spring 2011: Food

Guest edited by Blaine Tolentino and Julia Wieting

Food. Mmmm. It sustains. It inspires. It defines us in a way that our DNA still can’t get a handle on. In honor of this dynamic relationship among our bodies, our desires, and our earth, the next edition of Vice-Versa will be serving up a helping of writing and art inspired by food. To sate our appetites, we the editors seek poetry, short stories, creative nonfiction, video, and visual art that pay homage to food’s centrality in our lives. Entries are encouraged to consider—but are not limited to—the following pairings:

* Metaphors of giving and receiving
* Locality and food
* Sociocultural construction of cuisine
* Consumption (desire vs. need?)
* Culture/cultivation

The deadline for submissions is December 21, 2010, with publication slated for March 2011.
