THE WEEKEND, IN A NUTSHELL…

Posted on March 24, 2024 by TheSpiderlilly
Reply

On Thursday, I was writing a poem about my feelings upon discovering the congo
has a SILENT genocide happening right now, that’s like worse than Gaza’s…?!?!?!
While waiting in line for the food bank, and getting frostbite on my fingers.

On Friday, afternoon?
Watching my (significantly) older cousin’s funeral.
She was cruical to helping put together my dad’s eartly affairs in regards to
fixing up the house immediately after his death… I was a mess.
My Twitch stream helped my mood and humour lift, thanks to this teenager who
playfully trolls me, and suggested we voice chat in my discord, which was damned
fun, and funny.

I’m better now, Sunday.

I AM CO-EDITING AN ANTHOLOGY!

Posted on November 10, 2023 by TheSpiderlilly
Reply

It will be called The Passage To Caribbean Pantheology, and here’s the official
call for subs!


==
OD Ekpeki Presents is accepting submissions of fiction, poetry, essays, articles
and reviews from October 16th to February 11th for The Passage To Caribbean
Pantheology, a speculative fiction anthology, edited by Oghenechovwe Donald
Ekpeki, Tonya Liburd, E.G. Condé and Fabrice Guerrier. Publication date is in
2024.

Call: We define Caribbean Pantheology as stories spoken, sung, or written that
evoke the wonder, horror, and joy of the Caribbean experience. Caribbean
Pantheology will receive, read, translate and publish stories in all varieties
of English (including Creole and Spanglish), Spanish, and French that engage
with the diverse spiritual traditions of creators living in the Caribbean or its
many diasporas. Between myth and legend, the fantastical and the speculative,
the supernatural and the real, we seek stories that defy genre boundaries
(fantasy, magical realism, surreal, the weird, speculative, science fiction) and
the colonial borders that have long divided our islands into “Anglophone”,
“Francophone”, and “Hispanophone” communities. Like the Caribbean, our
pantheology is a meshwork of continents, deities, and languages, forged in the
violence of colonialism, chattel slavery, and indentured labor. More than our
scars, we Caribbean people are foundries of creativity and revolution. Like the
maroon refuges built by our ancestors, we are spun from Indigenous (Garifuna,
Guanahatabey, Kalinago, Taíno), African, Asian, and European traces. As such, we
welcome stories that confront the spiritual wounds of our pasts, celebrate the
rich traditions of our present, and imagine our flourishing futures. Send us
your archipelagic tales of Soucouyants and Brujas; Orishas and Cemís; Loogaroos
and Behikes; Jumbees and Ciguapas; Anansi and Chupacabras.

Eligibility: We seek works created by Caribbean people or anyone with ancestral
or migratory ties to the region. If you are a marginalized creator, we encourage
you to submit your work to us. We will reject any submissions that promote
colorism, shadeism, or racism, to any degree. Please do not send us content
generated by artificial intelligence applications.

Payment: $.08 per word up to 1,000 words; $.01 per word for longer submissions;
$50 flat rate for poems, essays, articles and reviews.

Rights requested: All world English, French and Spanish rights, exclusive for
one year after publication.

Submit to: caribbeanpantheology@gmail.com

This anthology will be co-published by OD Ekpeki Presents, the first Pantheology
imprint, as a part of the larger body of Pantheology projects. OD Ekpeki
Presents is an imprint of Jembefola Press, which has published projects which
have won and been nominated for the Hugo, Locus, World Fantasy, British Fantasy,
British Science Fiction, and other awards. It’s run by Oghenechovwe Donald
Ekpeki and you can contact him for collaborations on any of the pantheology
projects here.

En español

Entre distopias: el paso a la panteología caribeña

OD Ekpeki Presents acepta presentaciones de ficción, poesía, ensayos, artículos
y reseñas del 16 de octubre al 11 de febrero para Towards a Caribbean
Pantheology, una antología de ficción especulativa, editada por Oghenechovwe
Donald Ekpeki, Tonya Liburd, E.G. Condé & Fabrice Guerrier. La fecha de
publicación es en 2024.

Convocatoria: Definimos la panteología caribeña como historias habladas,
cantadas o escritas que evocan la maravilla, el horror y la alegría de la
experiencia caribeña. Caribbean Pantheology publicará historias en todas las
variedades de inglés (incluidos creole y spanglish), español y francés que
interactúen con las diversas tradiciones espirituales de los creadores que viven
en el Caribe o sus numerosas diásporas. Entre el mito y la leyenda, lo
fantástico y lo especulativo, lo sobrenatural y lo real, buscamos historias que
definan los límites de los géneros (fantasía, realismo mágico, surrealista, lo
extraño, especulativo, ciencia ficción) y las fronteras coloniales que durante
mucho tiempo han dividido nuestras islas. en comunidades “anglófonas”,
“francófonas” e “hispanófonas”. Al igual que el Caribe, nuestra panteología es
una red de continentes, deidades y lenguas, forjadas en la violencia del
colonialismo, la esclavitud y el trabajo por contrato. Más que nuestras
cicatrices, los caribeños somos fundiciones de creatividad y revolución. Al
igual que los refugios cimarrones construidos por nuestros antepasados, estamos
formados por vestigios indígenas (garífunas, guanahatabey, kalinago, taínos),
africanos, asiáticos y europeos. Como tal, damos la bienvenida a historias que
confrontan las heridas espirituales de nuestro pasado, celebran las ricas
tradiciones de nuestro presente e imaginan nuestro futuro floreciente. Envíanos
tus cuentos archipelágicos de Soucouyants y Brujas; Orishas y Cemís; Loogaroos y
Behikes; jumbees y ciguapas; Anansi y Chupacabras.

Elegibilidad: Buscamos obras creadas por caribeños o cualquier persona con
vínculos ancestrales o migratorios con la región. Si eres un creador marginado,
te animamos a que nos envíes tu trabajo. Rechazaremos cualquier envío que
promueva el colorismo, el sombreado o el racismo, en cualquier grado. Por favor,
no nos envíe contenido generado por aplicaciones de inteligencia artificial.

Pago: $0,08 por palabra hasta 1000 palabras; $0.01 por palabra para envíos más
largos; Tarifa fija de $50 para poemas, ensayos, artículos y reseñas. Todos los
derechos en inglés global, francés y español, exclusivos durante un año después
de su publicación.

et le français qui abordent les diverses traditions spirituelles des créateurs
vivant dans les Caraïbes ou dans ses nombreuses diasporas. Entre mythe et
légende, fantastique et spéculatif, surnaturel et réel, nous recherchons des

magique, surréaliste, étrange, spéculatif, science-fiction) et les frontières
coloniales qui divisent depuis longtemps nos îles. en communautés « anglophones
», « francophones » et « hispanophones ». Comme les Caraïbes, notre panthéologie
est un maillage de continents, de divinités et de langues, forgé dans la
violence du colonialisme, de l’esclavage et du travail sous contrat. Plus que
nos cicatrices, nous, les Caraïbes, sommes des fondeurs de créativité et de
révolution. Comme les refuges marrons construits par nos ancêtres, nous sommes
issus de traces indigènes (Garifuna, Guanahatabey, Kalinago, Taíno), africaines,
asiatiques et européennes. En tant que tel, nous accueillons les histoires qui
affrontent les blessures spirituelles de notre passé, célèbrent les riches
traditions de notre présent et imaginent notre avenir florissant. Envoyez-nous
vos contes archipélagiques de Soucouyants et de Brujas ; Orishas et Cemís ;
Loogaroos et Behikes ; jumbees et ciguapas; Anansi et Chupacabras.

Admissibilité : Nous recherchons des œuvres créées par des Caraïbes ou par toute
personne ayant des liens ancestraux ou migratoires avec la région. Si vous êtes
un créateur marginalisé, nous vous encourageons à nous soumettre votre travail.

shadeisme ou du racisme, à quelque degré que ce soit. Veuillez ne pas nous
envoyer de contenu généré par des applications d’intelligence artificielle.
