Greetings friends,

I am happy to announce a new contest for a book length collection of poetry.

To honor Jack Micheline, The Guild of Outsider Writers is sponsoring The
Jack Micheline Memorial, a contest for a book length collection of poems.

The winner will receive publication of her book by Tainted Coffee Press,
copies of the book, an introduction written by S.A. Griffin, and the use of
Jack Micheline's artwork for a cover design.

Anyone may enter and there is no entry fee.

I am posting a complete announcement below for use in any publication
willing to pass the word. No money is changing hands in this contest. Even
the printer is working for free. The Jack Micheline Foundation is endorsing
the use of Jack's name in this effort. Thank you very much for helping to
spread the word to the poetry community.

Sincerely,

David Blaine
The Guild of Outsider Writers
