Pyrta is a journal of poetry and other things based in Shillong. a small hill-station town in Meghalaya, India.
It aims to be a vibrant multicultural space - we'd like voices from all over to contribute quality work categorised broadly under Poetry, Photo Essays, Prose, Sketches and Local morsels.
For this issue, we're thrilled to have Sridala Swami as a special guest editor – she will be selecting & coordinating work for the poetry and photo essay sections of Pyrta.
Note from Sridala: "I'm looking for poems that are not disposable, that survive the first reading. I'm also looking for work that stands at the intersection of forms: if you're working with text and image, text and sound, visual poems, do send them in."
Bio note: Sridala Swami writes poetry, short fiction and books for children. Her first collection of poems, A Reluctant Survivor, was published by The Sahitya Akademi in 2007. She has written three books for very young children, which were published by Pratham in 2009. Her last exhibition of photography, Posting the Light: Dispatches from Hamburg, was a text and image experiment and opened at Kalakriti Art Gallery in November 2009. Swami was the 2011 Charles Wallace Writer-in-Residence at The University of Stirling, Scotland. She blogs at The Spaniard In The Works.
Rolling submissions, so no deadline. We're nice like that.
