Rumors Fly

The rumors are flying. Will the ever-popular Perigee Poetry Contest begin two days earlier this year? Maybe, just maybe.

We can't confirm or deny this rumor, but we can say that we are very excited about our upcoming poetry contest. Following in the footsteps of Judy Jordan ('04), Steve Kowit ('05), and Marvin Bell ('06), Joseph Millar has volunteered to be Perigee's 2007 Poetry Contest Finalist Judge!

Rumors aside, poetry is our most popular genre. And this just happens to be our most popular contest. Why open the floodgates two days earlier—on August 30th instead of September 1st? We have no idea.

But those are the rumors.

Check our site during the waning days of August, and get ready to submit your best poems, and win cash prizes and publication ... not to mention that coveted Pushcart nomination.
