The 2009 Anthology is ready
to go to the printer. It is 255 pages thick and presents
poems of over 100 poets from Israel and other countries.
It will be available hopefully within two weeks. Members
of Voices and those who pre-paid with their submissions
will receive a copy shortly afterwards.
As this is my final year as
Editor-in-Chief of Voices, I want to thank
all poets with whom I have had the pleasure of working
these past three years and from whom I have learned much.
To all of you and to others reading this message, I invite
you to submit to the 2010 issue.
The new co-editors will be
Sheryl Abbey and Michael Dickel. Please send submissions
for Voices Israel Anthology, Volume 36 by
the latest 7th October, 2009 by email to:
Voices_Israel_2010@me.com
Please send up to four
poems of no more than 40 lines each. We prefer your
submission to be by email in a single Word or RTF file—
one poem per page with your name, address and email on the
upper right corner of each page. A short bio not to exceed
seven lines should accompany your submission. The
acceptance process is anonymous and the poems will be
forwarded to the editorial board without names. No
revisions of poems will be accepted after submission!
There is no fee for
submitting poems to the Anthology, however, a contribution
of NIS 30 / US$15 will entitle you to a copy of the
Anthology once it comes out, whether you are published or
not and includes shipping fees.
If you decide to wait until
the Anthology is published and then order a copy, the
price is NIS 40 / US $20.- Members of Voices Israel, prize
winners and honorable mentions in the Reuben Rose are
entitled to one free copy of the Anthology.
Emails for the Anthology
should be addressed to: Voices_Israel_2010.me.com
If you have no access
whatsoever to email please submit one copy of each poem
plus your bio by regular mail following the above
guidelines, to:

Prizes for the Reuben Rose
Competition were raised last year. First prize is US$500,
second prize is US$200, third prize is US$100-. You may
submit an unlimited number of poems to this contest.
Submissions to the Reuben Rose should be sent to John
Dicks, Voices Israel , P.O. Box 236 , Kiriat Ata 28101
ISRAEL . Please submit by regular mail in duplicate. One
copy should not have any identifying information, the
other copy must have contact information included.
A cover letter giving the
names of the poems submitted and your full contact
information must accompany submissions. Fees of US$5 /
NIS15 for each poem submitted to the Reuben Rose must
accompany the poems sent to John Dicks. This applies to
members of Voices Israel and non-members alike.
You may submit the same
poems to both the Reuben Rose Poetry Competition and the
Anthology if you wish. This means that even if you do not
win a prize or a mention in the Reuben Rose you will have
a chance of having these poems published in the Anthology.
Make sure to email your submissions to the anthology to
Voices_Israel_2010.me.com and to send your submissions to
the Reuben Rose to John Dicks by regular mail.
We welcome poets from
abroad to our expanding international Voices family of
