But wouldn't it just be easier to just say "unpublished work only" as it has been in many previous bakeoffs?
I'm fine with published or unpublished sonnets...but it seems odd to strike a middle ground between two fairly objective poles.
Always appreciate what you do, Alex -- just a touch confused by what Ann called the "shifting goalposts."
