Call for Submissions: Cuckoo Quarterly Literary Magazine (India)
We are running a quarterly literary magazine, CUCKOO from the postgraduate department of English, V O Chidambaram College, Tuticorin, Tamilnadu. It is a quarterly publication (January, April, July and October). The magazine is exclusively dedicated to Recent Literature. It has updates on recent literatures, social issues, educational news, creative writings and so on. We have made it a magazine, so that students also will be interested to read it. The April issue has been released and it has features on Tagore in commemoration of his 150th birth anniversary. The subscribers will receive the copy by 16th May.

Presently, we are involved in preparing our July issue which focuses on "E-Literature" . E(lectronic) Literature refers to a digitally born literature which integrates text, image, sound, performance and computation with creative practices to produce poetic and narrative experiences through digital environment. Hyperfiction, Hyperpoetry, blooks, collaborative fiction and flash fiction are some of its key genres. The notion of E-literature is founded on the hypertext theory of the French Structuralists. It is an offshoot of the interdisciplinary approaches of Media Art Theory, software and internet studies, etc.
