Poets can send only up to 3 poems? Not, say, six, for $40?
You say: following payment of entry fee. I assume that’s via snail mail, but there is a strike, so how do I know the cheque reached you and at what point, before i send the poems electrically??
Should call the contest Catch 22. Respectfully and frustatedly, John Barta
