From Dec. 7 - 14, 2011 the Poetic Muselings (six Muse Conference friends) are having a crazy contest at their web site http:poetic-muselings.net with a book of our poetry called Lifelines as the prize.
To win, you must provide us with the most awesome answer to a few questions:
-- Who is your favorite poet?
-- What is your favorite poem?
-- Why?
Now, a cool thing about this contest is that your favorite poem may be a stand-alone you discovered -- not necessarily by your favorite poet. And the answer to the question "Why?" is the critical piece. Why did you choose this poet? Why this particular poem? What is it that resonates with you, or just won't let go?
We anticipate serious arm-wrestling and shouting by the end, as we select the ONE set of responses we feel best captures the essence of why we write, what moves us, creates unforgettable imagery . . . and we'd like your help to drive us nuts in this process. The winner will receive a copy of Lifelines, mailed to your house.
And, if you have a blog or website and would be interested in connecting to us or spreading the word, please let us know. We're starting a blogroll.
So -- thank you for reading this, and we hope you will have some fun and enter our contest.
