Whidbey Students Sponsor a Monthly Short Form Contest

From my friend, Nancy Boutin:

April is National Poetry Month and we'd like to celebrate. But, as we've come to appreciate, poetry can be found almost anywhere in the short form. And we at the Whidbey Writers Workshop adore the short form.

For April, send our judge something poetic--a memoir about the poetry in your life, a lyrical short story, or even something that rhymes--and she might send you $50 and a new honor for your writing resume. Just be sure to keep it short.

Please go to www.whidbeystudents.com for the contest link and full guidelines. While you're there, listen to our own David Wagoner recite his most anthologized poem, "Lost."
