I’m on a bit of a hiatus this week because Dylan and I are moving to Portland, so I thought I’d send this quick announcement. Kore Press has extended their contest deadline to August 31st for their first book award for poetry. Basically, you have to be a woman who has never published a full length collection to qualify. (You still qualify if you’ve published a chapbook of fewer than 42 pages and 400 copies printed.)

Here’s a word about the press from their website:

Kore Press was founded in 1993 by the creative efforts of book designer Lisa Bowden and poet Karen
Falkenstrom. Kore’s vision has been to publish and distribute excellent works of literary and artistic value by a diversity of women, including those traditionally underrepresented in the cultural mainstream; to promote those voices; and to educate young people about publishing and literary activism.
