Congratulations to all the reciters at tonight’s Semifinals of the NY State Poetry Out Loud Competition. It was an honor to be one of the judges. All those poems, all that passion. Best of luck to the winner and the runner up at next month’s state finals!
I’m delighted to receive an invitation to be a judge for the Poetry Out Loud semifinals at Onondaga Community College next week. I was a judge for the finals in Indiana years ago, and it was such a fun, inspiring event!
I’m delighted to announce that I’m this year’s final judge for the 23rd Annual Poetry Award at Elixir Press! I’m so excited to read your manuscript and help a new poetry book come into the world!
Entries accepted from Aug 1 to Oct 31. The prize is $2,000 and publication of your poetry book! For details & to enter, visit: http://elixirpress.com/guidelines/annual-poetry-awards
