Apologies for the hiatus

[alee_grrl]

I am starting my summer classes, both of which are intensive seminars. My first one, Negotiation, started today and runs tomorrow and Thursday, Friday of next week. We're covering 30 hour of work in four days. It is interesting and engaging, and the prof is funny. But the bottom line is that I am very low on spoons by the end of the day. Keeping up with the course work and starting prep for Mediation (which will be three very long days) will keep me pretty busy the next few weeks.

I've got at least one outstanding poem prize (for ashestosnow), and the winner of the QUILTBAG poetry challenge needs to be announced. If there is any other business that needs to be taken care of, please let me know.

We are always looking for hosts. Please feel free to invite poet friends who are not on dreamwidth, we can easily make arrangements to post their week's posts for them. If you aren't sure about posting and are a little nervous about the format, there's this helpful guide to posting format. There are also myself, alee_grrl and jjhunter the co-administrators of the community and we are happy to answer questions and help wherever we can.
