I’ll go first…
This Saturday, I’ll be leading a poetry workshop at the Big Blue Marble Bookshop in Mt. Airy. It’s free, open to the public, supportive and insightful. Bring about 7-10 copies of one poem.
This ongoing workshop usually happens ever 2nd & 4th Saturday — except this month it’s the 5th Saturday. For details, address, directions, etc. visit my website
I am the poetry editor for a new online magazine: The Dirty Napkin, www.dirtynapkin.com
I will be reading at Disckinson University on October 2 and have a chapbook (”By Reaching”) forthcoming from Finishing Line Press @ www.finishinglinpress.com…
But want I really want to say is this…
Call For Submission. The Dirty Napkin is now accepting submissions through November 15 for its December 22 issue. Please read submission guidelines on our website. If accepted we will record the author reciting his/her poem
And…
Announcing
THE GERALD STERN POETRY PRIZE
The Gerald Stern Poetry Prize
2008 Editor: Gerald Stern
Each year, The Dirty Napkin will sponsor the Gerald Stern Poetry Prize. In Gerald’s own words, we want poems that show “courage, audacity, originality, humility, intelligence, and honesty.” The winner will receive $250 and a book chosen by Gerald Stern. Submissions must be received by 1 March 2008 in anticipation of an April announcement. You retain the full copyright of your work and should we decide to publish it on our website, we will request your permission. Here are the guidelines:
Submit a 4–8 poem manuscript. All work should be previously unpublished.
Submit a $5 application fee, deposited securely through Google Checkout (you will be directed there via a special link after submitting your manuscript).
Include your contact information on the cover letter only.
Previous students of Mr. Stern’s may not apply.
This Saturday September 29th I will be reading for Modern Metrics at the Shooting Star Theater on Peck Slip in NYC. The reading begins at 4 p.m.
Come join me and, even better, buy one of my chapbooks…
