We are proud to announce that Vicki has become the Director of the Austin International Poetry Festival. Vicki is a dedicated lover of poetry and wisdom, as well as being a spiffy administrator and will do a bang-up job. Congratulations Muse! We are changing things as far as poetry is concerned. We will not pay for poems but still choose them as though they are the most valuable thing going. We want to publish more poetry. We get a good deal of it here. Our criteria is still high; your poems must surprise, enchant, enlighten, or dazzle the editors. The poetry we look for comes from life experience + consciousness of a poetic art. The life experience can be inward dwelling or out in the social/political/personal world. When we say, "consciousness of a poetic art," we mean that the poet has read modern poetry, is not trying to imitate poets of one hundred years ago. Some of the poets that make up the editors canon: W.C. Williams, Ezra Pound, Neruda, Rilke, Charles Olson, Robert Frost, Caesar Vallejo, William Stafford, Wallace Stevens, Anne Sexton, Gertrude Stein, H.D., among others. Be familiar with these poets as well as local and contemporary poets. Make picture. Make song. Don't write prose and then edit it out so it's chopped up as you think a poem should be. Bring a poetic consciousness to the work and then edit it with pictures and song in your spirit. If you want to submit poetry send 2-5 poems in the body of an e-mail message and send to Vicki at sunoasisjobs@earthlink.net
