cæsura California Poets Festival

 

 

Caesura, the literary Journal of Poetry Center San Jose, seeks poems that consider the role of gender in society. Who defines gender? What are the socially constructed roles, behavior, and attributes a society considers appropriate for men and women? NOTE: we do not want poems about sex or sexuality.

We welcome your submissions between August 5 and October 5, 2009

For more than three decades, cæsura served its members as a literary newsletter and magazine. Beginning with the 25th anniversary issue and the Fall 2005 issue, cæsura has updated its appearance and focus as a biannual literary journal that includes poems, short fiction, non-fiction, critical work, book reviews, and interviews. We hope to provide our members and the public with a compelling mix of work from the established award-winning poet to the burgeoning writer.

All current and past issues can be purchased by check mailed to:
