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:

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

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
