SUBMISSIONS:
All submissions must be accompanied by a cover letter (no more than a single page). Cover letters should include a brief bio discussing literary philosophies/alignments and how/why the author arrived at these points. Send 3 to 6 poems (translators may submit poetry or 1 to 2 short prose pieces, such as prose poetry and very very short stories, etc.). All submissions must be emailed as an attachment using the ‘.doc’ file extension. All desired formatting must be manifest in the attached document—work will be published exactly as it appears in the submission email.
FOR TRANSLATORS:
Unless the source-text rests within the public domain, translators submitting their work must provide written notice of permission to create a derivative work from either the original author or her/his estate or current copyright holder. Because Ichigyoshi always prints the translated poem/short work alongside its original, this documentation must also include reprint permissions as well as a copy of the original work. Ichigyoshi is not responsible for the enforcement of or any errors pertaining to these permissions.
