Dear Friends,
Last year I curated and constructed a collaborative, hand-sewn, one-of-a-kind book for Bernadette Mayer, with submissions from artists/writers around the country. This project led me, as Drunken Boat's fiction editor, to conceptualize a larger folio of work. The folio will be published in Drunken Boat's Issue 14 (summer 2011), and below is the call for submissions (drafted with Bernadette Mayer):
Call for Submissions: The Bernadette Mayer Folio: Bernadette Mayer's writing experiments, from the 1970s to the present, challenge artists to change the world. We are looking for art and writing that responds to this notion and/or to Bernadette Mayer. Your response can be written, performance-based, filmed, recorded, visual. We seek responses through any medium, and encourage media projects. Consider ways in which your response might operate at the intersection of conceptual art, performance and experimental work. Deadline 15 April, 2011.
Please pass along to writers and artists who might be interested in submitting/creating something for this folio. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best wishes,
Deborah Poe

Why write? Is writing making?
What is telling? What is showing?
What are clichés in writing, and how do I subvert them?
Are artists' writings taken seriously?
How do I know when to stop writing?
How do I start writing?
Making the Written Word will investigate and encourage the use of writing as a relevant outlet of expression at all stages of artists’ and designers’ studio practice. Each of the four sessions will aim to answer specific questions through readings, writing exercises, and discussion. This blog is a forum for the discussion generated and a place to leave references for each other.
