who needs 20 grand??

here is a link to the NEA site where you can apply for a grant of 20 thousand dollars.

The requirements are sort of stiff, but not unattainable. You need to have 20 poems published in venues other than self publishing...and I only know a handful here who have done that...

anyway, heres the link-- and good luck. The "winners" have been chosen for this year and it was for prose, but next year will be poetry so that gives those of us who have been slackers, time to get some work out there and work our way up to the required 20.

Hell, I know what I would do with 20 grand

buy some land, buy some land, doo dah
doo dah

http://www.arts.endow.gov/grants/apply/Lit/eligibility.html

here are the requirements in case you dont wanna look up the link--

"You are eligible to apply in Poetry if, between January 1, 2001, and March 3, 2008, you have had published:

* A volume of 48 or more pages of poetry; or
* Twenty or more different poems or pages of poetry in five or more literary journals, anthologies, or publications which regularly include poetry as a portion of their format. Up to 16 poems may be in a single volume of poetry of fewer than 48 pages. This volume, however, may count as only one of the required five places of publication."

this call is an odd sort, I am not used to seeing this word used lately...anyway, I dont think it's a hate site, doesnt sound like it and this IS a porn site and the link is for sexually based poetry and writing...maybe useful
