QUILLS POETRY MAGAZINE

Deadline: November 1, 2004
Winter Issue Theme: ICE

We wanted to come up with something general enough to inspire poets
on more than one level. We feel ICE does that. It is definitely
part of winter, yes. But ICE also has other meanings: ate an ice (as
in ice cream); iced drinks (as in ice cubes); on ice (keeping
something cold; where skaters do their thing); on thin ice (in a
risky situation) are but a few interpretations of the word. As a
verb, it can mean to kill someone. As a gerund, it's what you spread
on cake. The last thing we want to do with a themed issue is limit
your creativity. But we also think it's time to try something
different. Have an ice day!Please send submissions to
publisher@quillspoetry.com according to the specifications below and
found on the website.
