Stop, Collaborate, and Listen Contest Results - 09/20/2011 by V. Blake Well, the extended contest is over, and we have our results! Congratulations to our winners, and a sincere thanks to all the participants! WINNER: Scarecrow by Frankie Sanchez and Steven Kenworthy RUNNERS-UP: Everyone else! (Sorry. The submissions were too few to warrant runner-up selections!) There wasn't a huge pool of submissions this time around, but all the ones we got were awesome. Thanks again everybody. Stop, Collaborate, and Listen Contest - 08/28/2011 by V. Blake Well, the initial closing of the contest was to take place last night, but as we've only had two submissions so far, I have decided to extend the date by a couple of weeks to give everyone some more time. I understand collaborations don't always get done in a neat schedule, so I am hoping this will allow for a bit more competition. New Poetry Contest: Stop, Collaborate, and Listen - 08/02/2011 by V. Blake Took a month off from the poetry contests, so we thought we'd give you one doubly big to make up for it. Rules and such can be found on the Poetry Contest forum, or by clicking right here. This should be a lot of fun--really looking forward to what you guys come up with! Older News

Poem of the Day for 12/18/13 Image Machines by Richard Colinson I stand at the trailing edge of the day And rock back on my heels as the sky forms A flattened arc to the horizon Where scrubby winter trees meet clouds A day of harmless mechanical folly With trucks and ropes in the woods One set of machines tending another In a muddy symbiosis of pleasure And as I watch the men busy about With winches and the like I let the whole scene form in my mind As fully as it can And I wonder how I ever got a sense of How large the world is And how small are the maps inside Us flickering image machines 02/07/2010 Visit Richard Colinson's Library Image Machines Copyright © 2013
