June 2nd forum announcement

Dear Poetry Aficionados,

IBPC: Poetry & Poets in Rags


The last two weeks, the top stories in poetry have had to do with the Oxford poetry seat. This week, we have some interesting after thoughts on it, plus, believe it or not, an anonymous poem published by Oxford Poetry. But we begin with a look at creative writing in colleges. And on the Back Page, you'll find interviews with this years' Griffin Prize finalists. You'll find plenty of excellent articles, and terrific poetry to click into this issue.


This week again, congratulations are in order on the IBPC boards. Duncan Mercredi's May results are posted in the IBPC site, and the winners are:

1st place: Mariposa by Tim Blighton of Desert Moon Review
2nd place: Evidence Hanging on a Rusty Nail by Brian J. Mackay of Moontown Cafe
3rd place: The Marsh at Dusk by Steve Meador of FreeWrights Peer Review
HM: Dad Never Read Novels by Christopher T. George of FreeWrights Peer Review
HM: The absence of spaces between words by Alexandre Nodopaka of Pen Shells
HM: Her obituary picture will look nothing like her by Alex Stolis of Wild Poetry Forum

Congrats to the guys. Thanks to Duncan Mercredi.

And thank you for surfing through.

Yours,
Rus
