Get Your CUmmings-esque Poem Published

I know that not all of you will be interested, but for those of you who have been patiently waiting all year for us to finally get to poetry, I wanted to pass along a little bit more.  There is an entire organization devoted to thinking about Cummings and his work, the E.E. Cummings Society.  They publish an annual magazine titled Spring.  (Many of the articles linked to this blog come form that magazine.)  The magazine includes scholarly articles about Cummings as well as contemporary poetry that is influenced by Cummings.  So, if you are interested in submitting your poem to the magazine (what's the worst that could happen?), send a clean copy of your poem, a self addressed stamped envelope, and a brief cover letter to:

Michael Webster
Spring Editor
129 Lake Huron Hall
Grand Valley State University
Allendale, MI, 49401

I strongly suggest taking a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the publication before submitting, so that you can sound like you know a bit about your audience.
