Can I still submit?<BR/>A: It really depends on where you place yourself as a poet. Do you think you should have been included in a 1998 anthology of young poets? Do you plan to make a 2018 anthology of young poets? Do you think of the poets involved as significantly younger or older than you, or are you their peer? I want you to choose yourselves. Identify yourselves, associate yourselves as you see fit. The anthology will strive to be a comprehensive archive of zine, website, and book publishers in "our" generation, as well as a map of people who organize reading series. It is intended to establish, environ, and enhance our burgeoning community." </A><BR/><BR/>Weird stuff. I don't often base peerage on age, but maybe that's just me.<BR/><BR/>All is not lost, though, in 2007 there will once again be the Emily Dickinson Prize for poets over 50 from The Poetry Foundation.<BR/><BR/>http://poetry.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.poetryfoundation.org%2F<BR/><BR/>We should live so long. <BR/><BR/>:)Lohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03997469173838577796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19695568.post-1146541404283098662006-05-01T23:43:00.000-04:002006-05-01T23:43:00.000-04:00wow- which anthology is that and what's the cutoff...wow- which anthology is that and what's the cutoff?<BR/><BR/>it is ageist-too bad- I only started writing poetry about 12 years ago.<BR/><BR/>crazyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14067576860660881139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19695568.post-1146505444939550742006-05-01T13:44:00.000-04:002006-05-01T13:44:00.000-04:00I agree, Lo.The problem, I think, is that so many ...I agree, Lo.<BR/><BR/>The problem, I think, is that so many groups see so many other groups as the "bad guys." For example, the New Directions "group" doesn't like the Hudson Review "group" because the Hudson Review "group" takes up all the awards and the spaces in anthologies and the Academy of American Poets, and, and and ad nauseum.<BR/><BR/>It would be nice if we could call a cease-fire to the Poetry Wars.Jeff Newberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07537370554735280893noreply@blogger.com
