The good folks at The Potomac Review, one of Maryland’s leading literary journals, have extended the submission period for their annual poetry contest through March 1st, in addition to increasing the first place prize (three hundred bones!).  The reading fee is a bit stiff at $20, but this includes a year’s subscription to the magazine, so what’s not to like?  Read all the details at http://www.montgomerycollege.edu/potomacreview/pcsubmissionguidelines.html.

 And while I have your attention, Robert and I are slowly yet steadily expanding our “between the issues” material.  We hope the coming weeks and months will yield more FYIs, links, and interviews of interest to our fellow writers.  Two new links of interest are Allison Joseph’s outstanding “opportunities list” for creative writers hosted by Yahoo, and the Modern American Poetry project at the University of Illinois.  Happy reading, and check back again soon!
