Boor Soirée A Digital Poetry Project of Rural America A project of GASHER Press (see other related projects). About Stepping out from behind the shadow cast by literary hubs and their creative tastes, Boor Soirée serves as a cultural ethnography of the often-neglected voices working in rural spaces. The digital project is an archive, community, and shape for the future of craft in rural literatures, shining light on the inventions and interventions that project a cultural response to the social, political, and economic realities of the landscapes writers of rural America create within and from. Limited Demographic: Submissions are restricted to people working in rural spaces in the US. Country of Publication & Year Established United States Established in 2026 Publication Medium & Frequency Electronic Publication Electronic PublicationUnknown publication frequency AI Policy Unknown AI policy Nonfiction Open Boor Soirée is accepting essays on craft and scholarly close readings, comparative essays, and statements on the teaching of poetry that engage the intersection of rurality and poetry. Specifically, articles should engage with how rural spaces impact either one’s writing craft or their pedagogy when teaching poetry. We are interested in essays that engage directly with experiences and examples as opposed to discussing these ideas conceptually without application. For craft essays, this includes referencing specific poems; for pedagogical approaches, this includes in-class examples. We are interested in lesson plans that help create access to rural poetics for higher education learners.Additionally, we accept complete interviews with poets writing from or about rural America in a book that is forthcoming or newly released.Audience:Open to a broad Audience, including: People in a specific region.Lengths: Interview: Up to 6,000 words.
