Congratulations!!! Your five months of creativity has birthed beautiful manuscripts. I've only read Ariel's so far and the poems there are absolutely breathtaking. Congrats, Ariel. You can breathe now!!
For one of the contests, they need a picture of you so could you please have a picture that is ready to send available in your email. Next day 9, we will send four poems to two American magazines and we'll get an entry ready for The Claremont Review contest and for the BCTELA. The Review contest has a $20.00 entry fee. You can bring cash, or a cheque made out to The Claremont Review or I can charge it to your account if you have your parents' permission. You get a one year subscription to the magazine with your entry fee so you literally can't lose!!
Monday, Sena and Karen present.
See if you can find a teacher this week and set up a date. Deadline for that presentation is March 14th. I suggest you complete it in Feb. though so you will have more experience before we have our GALA evening.
Date for the poetry evening is Wed. March 8 because Thurs. March 9 is taken by the French Dept. Let me know asap if this date will not work for us so I can change it in SDS. I've used the title of Ariel's manuscript as the title of our evening? The evening is called Writing 12 presents Kiss it Better! an evening celebrating new poetry. Wed. March 8. 7 p.m. Copeland Lecture Theatre. Ariel, could you get all this info on the poster and then I can get them printed. Colour is fine.
Anyone not like the title? Bring your ideas to class on Monday and we can debate it. I think it works.
