For all members of WSJC and members of On the Edge Poetry Society.
On the Edge is encouraging and accepting submissions to the On the Edge Poetry Anthology for 2008. The theme for the 2008 anthology is Emerald Fields and there is a wide latitude for poetry that may fall anywhere along this line.
The annual On the Edge Poetry Anthology has been in print now for five years. The book is a wonderful gift for family and friends and provides many ways for new and more experienced writers to produce clips and to claim publication.
