The Emily Dickinson International Society

EDJ’s special issue on “Pearls in Eastern Waters,” planned for November 2013, welcomes essays dealing with Dickinson and any aspect of Asian thought, literature, culture, philosophy or religion, translation, and reception. For the purposes of this issue, "Asia" will be broadly defined. Because this is a special issue, we will consider short and primarily factual as well as longer, analytical pieces for publication. To be considered for publication, essays must be conversant with current Dickinson scholarship. To submit an essay for this issue, please include the line “For Consideration in ‘Pearls in Eastern Waters Special Issue’” following your title. Please submit your contribution for the special issue by accessing http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/edj. Once you
have created an account, you can upload your paper to ScholarOne. Submissions are due by 15 November 2012.
