from a Poetic listserv:
OPPORTUNITIES FOR WRITERS! yes, i know, this is the only reason you're on this list. that's OK! from George Wallace: call for poem submissions for the Long Islander newspaper's "Walt's Corner." The newspaper is a general circulation weekly in the town of Huntington NY, founded by Walt Whitman and the oldest paper on Long Island. It is the 'newspaper of record' and an invaluable research tool available in many of the regional libraries, archived on microfilm since the 1840s. As a newspaper format, the sizing is quite important - poems should be under 24 lines, of moderate line length. There are no restrictions on theme or style, but as a general circulation community newspaper, please no controversial or edgy material. Other than that, have at it! call for radio submissions from Paula Curci of Calliopes Corner, Thursdays at 4pm EST WRHU 88.7fm Radio Hofstra University and WRHU.ORG. Paula Invites you to send spoken word, poetry and acoustic/folk/rap/rock music (where the lyrics are fronted and audiable) to her at: Paula Curci- Producer Calliopes Corner:The Place Where Poets & Songwriters Meet WRHU 88.7fm Radio Hofstra University 111 Hofstra University Room 127. Dempster Hall. Hempstead, NY 11594. Guidelines: All work must be on CD format ONLY. Professionally mixed CD's with bio information and liner notes on the tray are preferred. CD's must be labled with name and song/poem titles. A very short bio-tray card size. Printed lyrics or poems are welcome. Two or three only. With name and poem titles clearly labled. A very short bio,attached. All work must be FCC cleared therefore only PG rated work will be aired -- no curses/profanity themes. MYSPACE now has a Books section, in addition to its very visible music section. i don't know if Books will have better technical luck than Music (MySpace, good as it is for networking, always seems to have some kind of site issue going on), but if you want to check it out, the link is here: http://collect.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=books and one sort of out-of-usual-format note: a request for donations from a group doing good literary work. here's their website -- http://www.PeaceEducationProgram.Org -- and here's what they say: Louisville, KY's Peace Education Program is "giving youth more than a fighting chance" by teaching/training adults to: empower the angry child; create a YOUTH-LEAD mediation program; use cooperative games to teach problem-solving; and recognize how prejudice impacts conflict. The hope is to raise $20,000 to continue this work & hire staff. Please, help gain sponsors BEFORE the "Sunday, Sept. 10th, 2006" DEADLINE when the program is expected to form a community choir for the concert scheduled for this date. Hopefully, your tax- deductable contribution will come by money-order payable to: Peace Education Program - 318 W. Kentucky Street - Louisville, KY 40203 - 502/589-6583 - peaceeducation@iglou.com
