Friday Find: Diane Lockward's Thoughts On Poetry Book Contests
Diane Lockward has been on both sides of the poetry book contest fence. She has entered many, and she has recently served as a first judge for one. In this post, she shares a number of useful recommendations for contest entrants. Since I'm slowly building up my own poetry practice (and I mean s-l-o-w-l-y), I'll keep her advice in mind for the long haul. Some of you may be able to apply it sooner!
(Side/related note: Last week, I saw one of my poems, "Pünktlichkeit," in print in the July-August 2010issue of Moment Magazine. Definitely one of the highlights of my writing life to date. The poem is not currently available online, but I'm pretty sure that when I do have a poetry book manuscript in order, this poem will be part of it. Hat tip to the fabulous Sage Cohen--it was through my work with Sage in her Poetry for the People II class last winter that the poem was born.)
Have a great weekend, everyone, and see you back here on Monday.

For my fellow Francophiles: a lovely essay by Anthony Daniels on Flaubert's most famous conte, which is translated as A Simple Heart. "Of course, no summary can do justice to the subtlety, acuity, or beauty of Flaubert's story. The only real way of doing it justice would be to repeat it word for word. Let me, however, point to just a few instances, not by any means exhaustive."

If I were a science fiction writer, this Science In My Fiction Contest would definitely be for me. "Here's how it works: Authors write a science fiction or fantasy short story which is inspired by a scientific discovery or innovation made or announced within the past year. It can't be peripherally added: the science must be integral to the story. Writers must include a link to a relevant article or study of the applied science when they submit their stories." There appears to be no entry fee, and there are cash prizes. Deadline is June 30, 2010. Good luck! (via PayingWriterJobs)
