Daddy: a cultural anthology

DADDY: A CULTURAL ANTHOLOGY (dad ·dy) What does our relationship with our fathers tell us about Daddy? In the frame of the #Metoo movement, is daddy a term of endearment? Is it a word used by others as a form of control? Or do you use it to show affection, respect? Whether you use the terms daddy, daddy issues or even zaddy, the word has seen a recent cultural resurgence. We want to know what it brings up for you. Love it? Hate it? Grossed out by it? Does it remind you of Freudian theory? Who do we call daddy (boyfriends, girlfriends, lovers and haters)? Does it bring up associations with the kink community? Or maybe the term is a trigger word to survivors of trauma. Whichever is true for you, we want to hear your personal responses. Whether that is in the form of poetry, fiction, essays, or visual artwork, we want to know your own reflections and meditations on the word daddy. Possible Daddy themes: Father-Son/Daughter relationship, Boy/Girl friends, Pornography, Circumcision, Pop-culture/Media The selected works will be published in an extensive anthology by Grey Borders Books.
