In this workshop, students will learn the ins and outs of preparing a poetry book for submission. We’ll discuss putting a poetry collection together for the first time, including both instructors’ organization methods, as well as strategies for submitting the book, and for marketing it once it’s accepted. Each student will receive a packet of information designed to streamline the process, including a list of poetry book publishers.

The Effects of the Pandemic 07/12/2020
Uttered Chaos is a small business on the verge—as so many businesses are these days. Because of the pandemic I am having to make some tough choices.
Currently, I am forced to concentrate on ways to make my mortgage and put food on the table by keeping my consulting company afloat.
The Magic 8 Ball keeps telling my the future is hazy and to that end I will not be accepting any new manuscripts for the foreseeable future and it saddens me to say that I will not be releasing any new books. At least for awhile.

Press Release
Press Release for Dawn Karima’s New Poetry Book: Mother of Nations
January 15, 2019
Mother of Nations
A poetry collection by
Dawn Karima
For Immediate Release
Dawn Karima draws on First Nation storytelling and histories incorporating indigenous myths, symbols, and values into her writing. Her poetry expands the horizon, her poetry is song, it is the salve we desperately need.
Dr. Karima shares, her new book, Mother of Nations, was her way of pressing pause on celeb life and pressing in in prayer to manifest my motherhood.”
“Dawn Karima is an amazing person, a great voice for her people and humanity.”
~SUPAMAN (Christian Parrish), Crow Hip Hop Recording Artist
“More than prayer and more than song, the beloved poems and prose comprising Mother of Nations are blessings, offered in pure heart and true hope. Each word is medicine. Wisdom holder Dawn Karima honors our pasts, expands our present, and promises tomorrow will be just as full of wonder. Dawn Karima plants, waters, and nurtures the tree of life, then sings as it rains down abundant fruit. Mother of Nations invites you to dance.”
~Chip Livingston, author of Naming Ceremony.
“Dawn Karima is a visionary, her poems navigate the sweep of history yet still articulate the value of each soul, shattering myths, honoring legends. Her pages do not lie flat as I read them, they sing with urgent, necessary songs. Hers is a powerful voice that transcends this sliver of time.”
~Mona Susan Power (Standing Rock Dakota), author of The Grass Dancer and Sacred Wilderness
