Great news, Robin. Thank you.

I've just ordered 5 copies for the little poetry group that I run.

I'm bumping this as these chapbooks are super - I have all three that have come out so far, and recommend them. Lots of Sphereans are in there...

They're inexpensive, make lovely little gifts, and easily fit inside a birthday card envelope, so buy them for your family and friends to advance the cause for formal poetry!

Robin, how does one go about contributing to future editions? Are there deadlines, themes, etc.?

Default Submissions

Roger, I put out a call for submissions a couple of days ago in my formal verse blog - http://formalverse.com/2019/07/24/po...r-submissions/
But for the most part I just try to read widely, and when I have found 10-12 poems I really like that seem to have a common theme, then a chapbook starts to take shape. It's very, um, informal.

Congratulations to Robin, Chris, and the many Sphere poets featured in the Potcake series! Especially good to see a new venture thriving at Sampson Low~~the categories' saucy titles are no small influence on that, as well as the choice poems.
