Seeking poetry submissions from Indian poets writing in English who began their careers in the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and/or more recently in the 2000s (and who are still currently writing and publishing today). The purpose and objective of these submissions is to gather contemporary poems in Indian English for a scholarly anthology to be published by a reputable academic publisher in either America or India. In addition to submitting poems, poets selected to be included in the anthology will need to include a short author-bio that gives a general overview of their career as a poet.
This anthology is tentatively to be divided according to poets who began their career in the 1970s/1980s and poets who began their careers more recently in the 1990s/2000s.

o Aesthetically engaging (experimentations in language, diction, syntax, sound, imagism/imagery)
o Postcolonial Themes
o Feminist Themes
o Diaspora Themes
o Deconstructionist Themes
o Modernist and/or Postmodern Aesthetics
