I don't know if this counts as off topic or not, but it seems

> White Ink is a rare and unique anthology of poems on the theme of  
> mothers. Beginning with a comprehensive critical introduction by  
> editor and poet Rishma Dunlop, this book will explore the changing  
> role of the mother in contemporary society by bringing together  
> diverse poetic voices – female, male, Canadian and international.  
> White Ink will select some of its poems from ARM Journal, the  
> journal of the Association for Research on Mothering (ARM).  
> However, White Ink will also include poems about motherhood that  
> have not appeared in ARM Journal.
>
> The title, White Ink, is borrowed from Hélène Cixous’ metaphor for  
> mother’s milk, a metaphor that grounds women’s writing in the  
> female body. Tentative section headings include: When Water Breaks:  
> The Birth of the Mother; Apron Strings: Motherhood as Institution;  
> Cutting the Cord: Mothers in Violent Times; Rocking the Cradle:  
> Redefining Motherhood; Positively Glowing: The Beauty of the Mother.
>
> Established and emerging writers – female, male, Canadian and  
> international – should submit 3-6 poems along with a 50-word bio  
> and contact info (including an E-mail address where you can be
