Feeling Political?

This arrived today from Jody Porter at The Morning Star: 
 

Dear poets, publishers and editors,

I have recently taken over as poetry editor for the daily UK newspaper The Morning Star [link] and I'm looking for submissions of new or previously published poems.

Under the stewardship of the late and esteemed John Rety, Well Versed developed into a widely-read forum for new and established writers. It appears every Thursday and submissions will also be published and archived online.

Please send submissions, with biographical information, to: wveditor [at] gmail [dot] com

Poems need not be overtly political, but space is limited so they must be short to medium in length.

Please forward this message on to anyone who might be interested in submitting work. Any tweets or blog reposts spreading the word would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Jane

Thanks for pointing this out to us. I'll have to start sharpening my pencil and purchase some fresh dye for my quill.

Best wishes from Simon

Dear Jane

Many thanks for the heads-up. I've already sent her a couple of poems.

Best wishes from Simon
