Hi All,

I'm passing on a call for submissions from Kate Sontag, a poet I met last week at Poetry by the Sea. She's thinking of putting together an anthology of hair poems, and is looking for both published & unpublished poems on the subject of hair. So far she mostly has poems by women and poems about the hair on the scalp -- and she still wants more of those -- but she welcomes hair poems by any gender, about any sort of hair, and in any poetic style. Free, formal, serious, funny, or whatever -- as long as it's about hair. She says to please put “Hair Poetry” in the subject heading and cut & paste the poems into body of the email and send to hairpoetry123 (at) gmail (dot) com.

Also, if you know of any hair poems by other poets, she'd love to know about them too. I figured the collective wisdom of the Sphere would turn up some good leads.

Thanks,
Nausheen
