Submissions can include personal experiences, academic “think pieces,” or writings about the impact of the Faeries on gay culture.
As well as on… Faeries and community building…Faerie political and social awareness and action…Faerie shamans…Faerie controversies…Faerie teachings….how Faeries operate and manage get togethers…urban Faeries…rural Faeries…Euro Faeries…Asian Faeries…history of the Faeries…Faerie criticism…Faerie poetry….Faerie philosophy…Faerie heresy…Faerie physics….
We are interested in casting the widest net possible. You do not need to be a professional writer. We are interested in how the Radical Faeries touched your mind, body, and spirit and contributed to your development as a gay man. How did your consciousness change because of the Radical Faeries? Are the Radical Faeries still relevant to gay men’s lives in 2009?
Deadline for all submissions is July 1, 2009.
(Proceeds from the Reader will be used to seed new and innovative Radical Faerie projects and gatherings.)
