    Greetings, Esteemed Colleagues!
    As co-editors, Drs. Bharat Mehra and Vanessa Irvin are truly excited to personally share this email invitation to submit your 250-word abstract for our edited volume, Poetry as Knowledge in Library and Information Science: Inquiry, Identity, and Practices, to be published by Emerald Group Publishing for their Advances in Librarianship series. See our invitation flyer attached.
    This edited collection explores the power of poetry as a "voice" in transforming the lives of educators, practitioners, scholars, advocates, students, and others in library and information science (LIS) (both in research and practice). It draws intimate (often complex) and seemingly disparate connections between the intertwining aspects of human existence and experience in the personal self as a fluid, ambiguous, dynamic, creative human being and the professional worker as a controlled, mechanical, and fixed entity immersed in an agenda-dictated reality. 
    Topics to be covered: This volume seeks contributions from LIS professionals from all around the world, and we are looking for (not limited to):
    • traditional unpublished poetry related to self-reflection: stream of thought writing, journal or memo reflections, free verse" +2000-3000 words (excluding references)
    • traditional research on how poetry impacts LIS: 5000-6000 words (excluding references)
    • personal narratives: orality in print, counter-storytelling, cultural expressions of story
    • case examples: poetic impacts in LIS globally, translations of poetry with prose
    • reading biographies: librarians writing about their reading lives; autoethnographic writings
    • poet-librarian biographies (e.g., Audre Lorde, Jorge Luis Borges, Zora Neale Hurston, Anne Bethel Spencer, Arna Bontemps, Philip Larkin, Lewis Caroll, Lao Tzu, Marianne Moore).
    Estimated timeline:
    Preliminary Abstracts due: July 1, 2024 
    Second Round Abstracts due: September 1, 2024 
    Abstract Acceptances: September 15, 2024 (latest)
    Chapter drafts due: November 1, 2024 
    Peer review: November 1, 2024 – March 1, 2025 
    Final draft due: June 1, 2025 
    Book manuscript submitted to the publisher: July 1, 2025
