Tiger's Eye Press has been publishing Tiger's Eye: A Journal of Poetry for ten years. When we began, we considered naming the press, Kitchen Table Press, because that was an accurate description of our work atmosphere. And now after ten years, it still is. Although we've added chapbooks and an editing service, we continue to edit from our tables and home desks, and sometimes surrounded by stacks of submissions, from the floor.
If you've entered the 2011 Chapbook Contest, your work is being sorted, read by the editors, and readied for the judge, Julie Gard. We will announce the winner by February 29.
In every difficult period in history, it is the writers, the poets who continue to tell the truth. They may have used fliers or mimeographed sheets of paper in the past, but now their voices are heard through small presses and social media. We like being a part of this movement, and want to publish your most passionate work.
Make us feel something, unnerve us, surprise us. The journal deadline is January 31, and already we know our first annual issue is going to offer the reader some extraordinary poetry. We look forward to reading yours.
Colette Jonopulos, JoAn Osborne, Editors
