Default U. of Evansville needs our help

Most of us who hang around here know that the publications and contests run by the University of Evansville Press have been and still are important to poets, especially to formal poets. The Nemerov contest and Measure are much missed; Measure Press, the Evansville Review, and the Willis Barnstone Translation Prize continue to be great opportunities. Chances are we would lose them if the big budget cuts rumored to be in the offing at UE became realities.

I've been reading about all this on social media, with growing concern. So I'm providing a link to the site where one can learn more about how to help the UE faculty head off potentially disastrous decisions.

Read more about all this here.

Bumping this up because it is a good cause, and because I do love the Nemerov-winning sonnets, it is a shame that they ended.

Regards,

Not just the Nemerov, but the XJ Kennedy Parody contest is also to be missed.

The Evansville Review was already just an annual publication, and they've now decided not to publish in 2021, so the next issue won't be coming out until 2022 even if there are no further cuts.
