Both myself and Linebreak contributor Joe Wilkins were fortunate enough to be selected for this year’s edition, which was guest edited by Kim Addonizio. Oddly enough, I interviewed Joe on this here blog just a few months ago. Small world.

Having gone through the process, I’d encourage all eligible poets to submit next year. The $3 fee is among the lowest for any poetry contest, and series editor Jeb Livingood does a great job of keeping you informed as things move along.

By the way, I’ll be reading from the book this Saturday at Left Bank Books in St. Louis along with Katy Didden, Brandon J. Courtney, Trey Moody, and James Crews. The reading starts at 4, which should leave us plenty of time for binge drinking serious literary discussions. If you’re in the area, stop by and say hi.
