New opportunity for publication

I just caught wind of this new site:

http://www.themarblecollection.org/

It is available for any high school student in Massachusetts, and any time you can limit the number of possible competitors, you should jump on the opportunity. And I know the quality of your poetry - this should be easy to break into. Let's do this!

SUBMIT!

PS - let me know if and when you submit to this magazine.

And the lottery winner is...

Sarina Gerardi

Congratulations to Sarina for winning a free one-year subscription to Poetry Magazine. Her name was chosen out of the forty-two (HOW MANY??) lottery entries that were in the running. The contest's prize winner will be announced as soon as the poems have finished being read.

New writing website AND Collab extension

Here's a new website that was just brought to my attention:

http://writerslifeline.webs.com

I can't check it out from work, because the school computer keeps crashing when I try, so I hope that it is good. A better endorsement later...

Also, the deadline for Collab's first annual Final Thoughts contest has been extended to Tuesday, December 9th. The winning entry will also be published in the Burlington Union. See the following link:

Finally, this is the final day to turn in poems to our contest, sponsored by Poetry Magazine. The best poem will receive a one-year subscription ($35 value) and will be mailed to their editors. A second subscription (still $35) will go to any poet, chosen at random, based on how many poems have been submitted. This second prize is available to ALL POETIC RAMBLERS, past and present. Submit your poems here by midnight. The winner of the raffle drawing will be announced tomorrow.
