The Veena – Flower Power issue

submitted by

Jambu Press


Call For Submissions

A new creative offering from Jambu Press  and Studio Saraswati, The Veena is a seasonal journal of poetry and art featuring a selection of work with a unifying theme. The Veena seeks to offer insight, inspiration, and light in all its varied forms.

Please submit poems and art for our inaugural spring edition: Flower Power. Interpretations of the theme are left to your imagination and artistry, but may include celebrations of flowers, spring blooms, symbolism of flowers, flowers in ritual, and even the cultural significance of the historical phrase coined by poet Allen Ginsberg in the 1960s.

We invite up to 5 poems, but no more than 10 pages of text. We prefer shorter poems, but will read what you send us with great interest, up to two pages in length per poem. Please use a standard font like Times New Roman and upload both a .doc and a .pdf (for line integrity) of your work. Absolutely no AI generated work please. Artists and photographers may submit up to 5 images separately with the title of each piece as the file name.
