If anybody wants to take up the work, I can send you my nicely organized file of everything through 2007 and you can take it from there. But I fear I've got too many projects on my plate already to do more with this.

Congratulations Cally, I loved the reading too (thanks for the link Mary).

Would Able Muse Press be interested? After all, what the world needs now is another sonnet anthology.

(But seriously, though I think an Eratsphere anthology -- sonnets or more -- would be very cool, the prospect of a bigger book should not interfere with the efforts afoot to do the chapbook that is being talked about here. I would not want my dispicable sour grapes bitterness about not entering the year someone actually follows through on publishing such a thing to derail the actual follow through of publishing it.)

Anna,

I assume you got my e-mail, which stated that I own the rights to "A Change of Tune." I think a chapbook is a neat idea, and if that project turns out well, then we could think about a bigger anthology of "Win, Place, and Show Sonnets 20 --2011." Thanks.

Martin

So far I have only heard from 6 of the 25 other people whose poems would appear in said chapbook. I don't know if this is because of ambivalence about the project, lack of rights to the poems, absence from the board or what?

The other thing I could consider doing either instead of, although I hear a voice for as well as, the chapbook, is approaching Central Avenue Press (who publish The Raintown Review) about the larger manuscript.

Lots of ways to contact me: I lurk regularly on Eratosphere, so reply to this thread. My email is evnsanna_at_comcast.net. Facebook. (Lots of Anna Evanses but not many are friends with a Quincy R. Lehr!!)

Cheers!

Anna

Presumably you got my email too?

I suppose it might be that, now the party's over, folks are less likely to check this thread at all. I can't believe the lack of responses is just apathy.

I can think of two options. PM people individually. Get the Mods/Admin. to put up a sticky thread somewhere?

Anna, my (honourably-mentioned) sonnet "Sleeping in Tongues" is yours for the publishing. It won first prize in a competition to raise funds for an animal rescue centre in New Jersey and subsequently appeared in Now Culture, so a nod of acknowledgement in that direction would be my only "ask". Thanks for your initiative!

Hi Anna.

Copyright to On Tom Roberts' "Bailed Up" is mine, so please go for it, and kudos for the initiative.

Thanks.

Peter

Anna,

As soon as the bake-off was over I deleted all the submissions from my computer.

Therefore, the 13 finalists are still up at the Sphere, but the 13 honorable mentions will have to contact you with their poems.

Cathy

Anna,

Perhaps you should start a new thread on "Submissions". Just a thought.

Cathy
