For those writing the test on Monday, meet me in the English office at the scheduled time. Submit your work at that time. Bring a copy of your poems but without your name. I'll get you to fill in a cover sheet.

Thursday: Poetry submissions. Arrive with copies of your poems. One of each for the BCTELA contest. If you want to submit to The Claremont Review contest or to the magazine bring subsequent copies. See submission guidelines at www.theclaremontreview.ca
Also, have your poems available electronically as there are two magazines to which you can submit via the internet. One of them will need your picture so have a picture available electronically as well.
