Default Market for Light Verse

I've just learned that Miriam Kotzin at the on-line journal Per Contra is looking for light verse. Moreover, she's willing to take work that has been previously published in print journals, and will pay $10 for poems.
I thought the Sphere could help her out. You can send light verse to:
mkotzin@att.net.

Chris O'Carroll has pointed out that the Per Contra website will tell you submissions are closed. Disregard this & use the e-mail address given above. Just trust me on this, okay?

"Just trust me on this, okay?"
That's a positively adorable remark, Gail.

You're a sweetheart, Nemo.
Chris and I have both got acceptances from PC, so it's for real.

Thanks for the tip, Gail. They just took a few of my light verse poems as well.

Acceptances aside, I received a reasonably swift response with a very nice note from the editor, and Per Contra is an attractive looking journal. Here's hoping this becomes a regular feature. Thank you, Gail, for the heads up!

Congratulations Ed and Susan! Way to go.

And Roger also, of course. Sorry, didn't mean to slight you!

I've just received an acceptance too. I've never earned a dollar before.

I just got a hit as well. I think this lifts my lifetime income from poetry journals to well over $50.
