Call for Submissions

LOCCAL is seeking submissions of poems for Public Health. We are gunning for succint and thought-provoking poems to appear on a series of placards addressing five specific Public Health concerns:

1. Hand washing
2. Tooth-brushing
3. Self-breast examination
4. Safe sex
5. Drinking and driving

Please submit brief, topic-specific poems. Poems need not necessarily instruct. Handwashing and tooth-brushing poems are intended primarily for diversion while engaging in said healthy activity. A handwashing or tooth-brushing poem should last approximately 30 seconds when read aloud. If your poem is chosen for publication, you will receive your very own Laminated Collection of the Public Health Poetry Series. Please email submissions as an attachment in Word to loccallit@yahoo.com .
