Poetic Quote of the Week

I will not sing the song of others in other people’s words; I will not see the world of others through other people’s eyes. But blue, far into space, I’ll hurl my judgment of the human race, upwards to the unassuming sky, farther than any bird can fly. TIMOTHY CORSELLIS

Deadline: December 15, 2016.

A short bio should be included.

Always keep a copy of your manuscript; materials will not be returned and will be recycled after the judging.
