CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: In conjunction with the latest revival of the nature-themed literary magazine Hawk & Whippoorwill, Pen & Anvil is pleased to announce a series of chapbooks dedicated to endangered and threatened animals in the New England area.
Poems for Plovers is a chapbook about plovers. To protect the eggs and chicks of the piping plover (Charadrius melodus), beaches along the Atlantic coast close each nesting season--a conservation effort that has benefited the species greatly over the past thirty years.
Songs for Salamanders is a chapbook about salamanders. Four species of salamander are threatened or of special concern in Massachusetts: the Jefferson salamander, the blue-spotted salamander, the marbled salamander, and the eastern spadefoot. They live under rocks and logs and they deserve your love and poetic tribute.
Music for Myotises is a chapbook about mouse-eared bats. Five species of bats are endangered in Massachusetts: the Indiana myotis, the small-footed myotis, the little brown myotis, the tricolored bat, and the northern long-eared bat.
Cicada Sex-song is a chapbook about cicadas and their summer songs. Five species of cicada are known to call Massachusetts home; we call them all "cicada." They are not endangered, but we are concerned about them, and hope that they have all that they need for a good life.
