Pond 16 - 2016
|
Submissions are open
I’m pleased to announce the 2nd Annual StC Poetry Contest - Ekphrasis! And based on feedback from last year, there’s no entry fee. My new favorite artist Elizabeth Darrow selected one of her works as the centerpiece. Our guest editor will be Howard Richard Debs, and part of the first prize was donated by Ben Loory. I’m honored to have each of them part of the contest.
Details Here In keeping with the poetry contest kickoff, this pond is stocked with prize poetry carp, koi really, beautiful shiny li’l swimmers. (And a wonderful mackeral flash.) Enjoy! - Ken |
