Cha: An Asian Literary
Journal is now accepting submissions for “The Ancient Asia Issue,” an
edition of the journal devoted exclusively to work from and about Asia
before the mid-nineteenth century.
From the beginning
of the twentieth century, ancient Asia has contributed to the rebirth
and re-imaginations of modern literatures, not only in English (from
Ezra Pound to Gary Snyder) but in other western languages as well
(Victor Segalen, Octavio Paz, Bertolt Brecht…). “The Ancient Asia Issue”
of Cha seeks to revivify this tradition, featuring translations and
original works of poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction, and visual art
from and about Ancient Asia, to be published in September 2013. If you
have something interesting, opinionated, or fresh to say about the Asian
past, we would like to hear from you. Please note that we can only
accept submissions in English.
We are pleased to
announce that Cha former contributor, translator and scholar Lucas Klein
will be joining Cha as guest editor for the issue (see his biography
below) and read the submissions with co-editors Tammy Ho and Jeff
Zroback.
The Reviews section will be devoted
exclusively to books related to the theme of the issue. If you have a
recent book that you think would be right for review in "The Ancient
Asia Issue", we encourage you to contact our Reviews Editor Eddie Tay at
eddie@asiancha.com. Books should be sent to Eddie before the end of May
2013.
If you would like to have work considered for
"The Ancient Asia Issue", please submit by email to
submissions@asiancha.com by 20th June, 2013. Please include "The Ancient
Asia Issue" in the subject line of the email. Submissions to the issue
should conform to our guidelines.
