5. FOUR separate Verse Wisconsin & Cowfeather Press calls for submissions.
5.1. POEMS IN RESPONSE AND GRATITUDE: ELLEN KORT
Ellen Kort has been like an extraordinary godmother to Wisconsin poetry. Our first state Poet Laureate, Kort has long been an active and encouraging presence in her hometown of Appleton and far beyond. She has worked with many poets, and equally important, she has worked with students of all ages, grief and therapy groups, and civic leaders, always finding new ways to demonstrate the power of poetry and to bring poetry to new ears.
We want to celebrate her work and legacy. Please send poems which respond either to Ellen's work overall or more directly to specific poems she has written. Madison's third Poet Laureate, Fabu, will guest edit this feature in Verse Wisconsin. All work should be sent directly to her.
