We all know that small presses have been taking a serious economic hit. A number of Poemeleon contributors have works published by Salt: Catherine Daly, Annie Finch, Cheryll Floyd-Miller. Please take a moment to help out this small press in crisis -- I just did. Ultimately, it benefits us all. ***From Chris Hamilton-Emery, via my Facebook inbox, via the Poetry Society, and the No Tell Motel Blog

I’m going to start by saying that I know nothing. What I mean is, each issue of Poemeleon I produce out of a desire to explore a particular topic that has captured my interest. Working on prose poems? Put together an issue on the prose poem and see what people are doing with it. Investigating ekphrasis? Put out a call for ekphrastic poems.
