Submissions
Are you in exile? Become part of the collective.
Please include the author/artist’s name and email address with your submission and send to:
collectiveexile@gmail.com
Rather than conforming your work to meet our submission guidelines, we want you to provide your own guidelines on how we should publish it. Collective Exile is about writers of the world uniting, merging diverse forms of art, and exploiting technology. We work for your work.
We want work that would not be possible elsewhere, too long, too weird, impossible without the audio, visual, musical, informational or other resources of the web. We want a Gesamtkunstwerk that would only be possible now, with our particular electric tools. We want cross-genre work, something that has absorbed within itself the polysemous understanding of many different forms of vision. We want you to use sound, give a reading, involve atonal banjo if you must or ought, become an electronic scop or epos. We want a video component to actually function as part of the poem, as integral to the meaning, to genuinely have the modalities interpenetrate. We want poems that are not just a series of standard contemporary lyrics drawn out into long-poem length: we want you to write in genuinely different modes, narrative, lyric, dramatic, scientific, philosophical, slangy, pop-y, divine, put all the ways of meaning together. Search your way somewhere new. We want to resurrect the Mennipean Satire, and give it hallucinogens. We want to give it a YouTube account. If you have just regular good poems or stories, we’ll take those, too. We consider novel/experiment serializations. Remember, though, “weird” comes from the Old English for the will of the gods, and it is the manifestation of the divine in everyday life. Poet, be like God.
