Hi folks,

Just thought I'd let you all know that I'll be reading this weekend. Hope to see some of you there!

Hi folks --

Here is an upcoming reading at Beyond Baroque that will feature several Poemeleon contributors, Lucia Galloway, Judy Kronenfeld, and Ruth Nolan, as well as Rattle editor Timothy Green, and sponsored by John Amen, editor of another fine journal, The Pedestal.

I'd be there myself, but am also reading that day (I'm going to post that info in a different announcement), but if you're ambitious -- and have a speedy vehicle -- you could race from one reading to the other!

It was hard to choose, made only slightly easier by the restrictions placed on the nominations (no full-length collection out, no appearance in last year's anthology), but seeing as tomorrow is the deadline and I can deliberate no more, here are our two nominees for the University of Virginia, Merdian's, 2008 Best New Poets anthology:

• Kristen Orser, for "Minnows" (The Prose Poem Issue)
• Benjamin Vogt, for "Portraiture at Blanks' Photography -- Weatherford, 1978" (The Form Issue)

Congratulations! And best of luck.

On Friday, April 25th Mark DeCarteret will be a guest reader at the 4th annual Jazzmouth Poetry and Jazz Festival's Extravaganza in Porstmouth NH with featured poet, Billy Collins and others.
