VAN GOGH'S EAR 6: THE LOVE ISSUE


Guest Editor: Dawn-Michelle Baude

Arts Editor: Anne Shelton Aaron

The international arts anthology, Van Gogh's Ear, invites you to submit to VGE6, "The Love Issue." VGE6 seeks poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and line drawings.

Van Gogh's Ear is associated with French Connection Press, a multimedia arts organization. Founded by Ian Ayres in 2002, Van Gogh's Ear is dedicated to showcasing daring, imaginative, powerful works by established and emerging artists from all over the globe. Current and past contributors include Norman Mailer, Yoko Ono, Paul Auster, Maya Angelou, Joyce Carol Oates, Margaret Atwood, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Taslima Nasrin, among many others.

[Note: Although Van Gogh's Ear is non-profit, because of being an Anglophone publication based in France, we are unable to get any grants or funding. Our continued existence, and continued ability to consider and publish outstanding work, depends mainly on the support of artists. Thus, for the survival of the excellent poetry, prose, and art that Van Gogh’s Ear is all about, we must ask a consideration fee of 10 US dollars or its equivalent, i.e., 12 Canadian dollars, 5 British pounds, 14 Australian dollars, or 8 euros, for submissions from non-subscribers. Just click on one of the links on the left in your currency to receive consideration, then send your submissions via cyberspace or post hardcopy directly to French Connection Press. As for checks or money orders, they're welcome only in U.S. dollars or French euros.
