Help to get the word out to friends and relatives in other areas. There is no money involved in this project but it does offer much wider exposure to the poets and provides additional programming to your local non-profit radio station.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS Hanna Raskin, Food Editor for the Seattle Weekly with a request. Each year, we strive to come up with an interesting way to convey to readers what's fresh at local farmers markets, and it might be fun to try a poem-based approach. Will you take on a fruit or vegetable for our blog?

Poems should be submitted to me via e-mail, either in the body of the message or as a .doc attachment. Poems should not exceed 40 lines, and should be submitted by the final day of the month preceding the featured fruit, vegetable or herb's anticipated seasonal debut. (I've pasted a calendar below; the original is available at http://www.seattlefarmersmarkets.org/ripe-n-ready/produce-calendar) For scheduling purposes, it would be very helpful if poets contacted me as soon as they settle on an item, so we can avoid having 14 poems about rhubarb. All styles acceptable. If the poems is not written in English, it should be accompanied by a translation. Poems will run with a photo, so the poet may wish to submit a photograph of his or her own along with the poem, although doing so is entirely optional. Finally, if a poem has already been printed elsewhere, the poet should make sure he or she has the rights to it. I'm happy to answer any questions via e-mail (hraskin@seattleweekly.com) or by phone (206-467-4318).
