POWA 2010
Posted Tuesday, 20 July 2010 By Ilze Brüggemann
The theme for the 2010 women's writing project is: Love and Revolution and the closing date is 1 October 2010.
Love and Revolution are two words that are rarely used together. Where love is associated with passion, desire and romance, revolution is often associated with revolt, uprising, riot and change, these seemingly opposing emotions. Yet often when we talk about love, what we are really talking about is not just the feeling of love, but its power to transform us in ways that not even we could have imagined, and the more it begins to appear that love and revolution are in fact two sides of the same coin. Sometimes the most revolutionary act is to love. And sometimes the revolution is an act of love.
This year, POWA is calling for poems, short stories and personal essays that tell of your experience of love, be it romantic love, the love of family, the love of friends, the love of community, that has touched you in revolutionary ways that have altered the way you see and approach life.
