Cover art by Raindog NUMBER TWO / 2013 • 5 THE POEM IS IMPORTANT, THE POET IS NOT – Octavio Paz This issue is dedicated to the POEM and to those who write them. I learned the hard way that separating the poet from the poem is easier said than done. I lost the friendship of the proponent of this ideal last year over a silly misunderstanding. I cannot believe that this happened, but it did. So I dedicate this issue to poets everywhere; to poets and their frail egos…may we all gain some measure of insight and tolerance for each other’s foibles. So, let’s update the motto to this: INGENIUM NON CELEBRITAS – GAME NOT FAME LUMMOX #2 PATRONS LUMMOX has to thank the following people for helping other poets get into this issue by donating more than the requested $10. They are Mike Adams, Carly Bryson, Peter Carroll, Tim Hunt, Ed Jamieson, Jr., Frank Kearns, Victoria Locke, Angela Mankiewicz, Terry McCarty, Edward Nudelman, Michael Paul, Zaida Ramos, Paul Shafer, Nancy Shiffrin, Jared Smith, Clifton Snider, HL Thomas, Jeff Walt, Mel Weisburd, Lavonne Westbrooks and Rebecca Yancy. Very special thanks to the following for their donations to support this project and your editor who was somewhat damaged by fate during its creation: Linda Albertano, Dr. Thomas Brod, Hank Beukema, Harry Calhoun, Georgia Cox, Frank Dvoracek, Ryan Guth, Gerald Locklin, Daniel McGinn, and Apryl Skies. Finally, lest we forget those who serve in the trenches, quietly doing the heavy lifting: Chris Yeseta (layout and art direction) and Alisha Attella (advertising ideas and general moral support)…I’d be lost without your help!

  • American Book Awards 2004
    BEFORE COLUMBUS FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE AMERICAN BOOK AWARDS 2004 America was intended to be a place where freedom from discrimination was the means by which equality was achieved. Today, American culture THE is the most diverse ever on the face of this earth. Recognizing literary excel- lence demands a panoramic perspective. A narrow view strictly to the mainstream ignores all the tributaries that feed it. American literature is AMERICAN not one tradition but all traditions. From those who have been here for thousands of years to the most recent immigrants, we are all contributing to American culture. We are all being translated into a new language. BOOK Everyone should know by now that Columbus did not “discover” America. Rather, we are all still discovering America—and we must continue to do AWARDS so. The Before Columbus Foundation was founded in 1976 as a nonprofit educational and service organization dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of contemporary American multicultural literature. The goals of BCF are to provide recognition and a wider audience for the wealth of cultural and ethnic diversity that constitutes American writing. BCF has always employed the term “multicultural” not as a description of an aspect of American literature, but as a definition of all American litera- ture. BCF believes that the ingredients of America’s so-called “melting pot” are not only distinct, but integral to the unique constitution of American Culture—the whole comprises the parts. In 1978, the Board of Directors of BCF (authors, editors, and publishers representing the multicultural diversity of American Literature) decided that one of its programs should be a book award that would, for the first time, respect and honor excellence in American literature without restric- tion or bias with regard to race, sex, creed, cultural origin, size of press or ad budget, or even genre.

  • Annual Report 2008-2009 INTRODUCTION
    annual report 2008-2009 INTRODUCTION WE’RE PLEASED TO REPORT that despite a very challenging economic environment, Poets & Writers was able not only to maintain, but to improve and expand, its programs during the year ending June 30, 2009. Last year, we published six issues of Poets & Writers Magazine, which included special sections on independent presses, MFA programs, literary magazines, and writers retreats. We were especially proud to continue Agents & Editors, a highly popular fea- ture, which presented interviews with a number of top publishing professionals. We also launched Bullseye, a column that offers invaluable advice from literary magazine editors on submitting work to their journals. Circulation to the magazine remained steady at 55,000, and advertising revenue grew to over $1.2 million. Traffic to our Web site grew as well, to over 80,000 unique visitors per month. We continued to add new features to pw.org throughout the year, including Writers Recommend, in which authors talk about the books and art that inspire them to write. The site’s Speakeasy Message Forum continued to be a popular destination for authors to exchange advice and information on top- ics ranging from poetry contests to book contracts. And our databases of literary magazines and small presses received a high volume of visits from writers looking for places to submit their work. Our Information Services staff continued to provide a personal response to hundreds of e-mail and phone queries from writers, and we were pleased to be able to continue to offer this service free-of-charge. Staff also reviewed and approved applications from over 500 writers applying for listing in our Directory of Writers, which now includes over 8,000 poets, fiction writers, and creative nonfiction authors.
