5. Poetry workshop offered by Penelope Scambly Schott on Thursday August 27 and Friday August 28, 2015 in Dufur, Oregon.
Surprise! That's the workshop topic for this year. Many of us write lovely, skillful, and sensitive poems that are almost wonderful. The problem is that sometimes those good poems don't quite leap off the page to grab the reader. In this two-day workshop we will play with the element of surprise to make our good poems into memorable poems. We'll create new work and revise old work, always looking for unexpected discoveries.
Workshop will be held in the restored 1907 Balch Hotel in the small wheat-growing town of Dufur, Oregon on the east side of Mount Hood. For more information contact Penelope at penelopeschott@comcast.net.
6. Jane's Boy Press is currently reading poetry submissions. Manuscripts and individual poems are being considered. We are equally interested in established, emerging, and new voices. Please read on for additional details:
Journal Submissions: $3.00 reading fee, all types of poetry considered, with a preference for clear, accessible (not dumbed-down) poetry. Chap Book Manuscripts: $20.00 reading fee. Full-length Manuscripts: $30.00 reading fee.
Features/Interviews/Articles: No reading fee. Anybody interested in writing a potential feature for the journal Ishka Bibble should submit a query/proposal via email (see additional information below). Accepted articles are compensated with a contributor's copy. Audience for the journal is poets and poetry readers. Articles should feature content on craft, genre, or specific poets. Not currently interested in reviews. Interviews a plus.
