| Dear friends,
The Formalist ceased publication after the fall/winter 2004 issue (15:2), but the annual Howard Nemerov Sonnet Award competition continues. The next deadline will be November 15, 2007; the final Judge will be Frederick Turner; and the winning poem will receive $1,000 and publication in Measure: An Annual Review of Formal Poetry. The complete guidelines are available on this website, and they'll also be announced in Poets and Writers. Also, some back issues of The Formalist are still available. Best wishes, |
