As our Fall/Winter 2008 issue winds its way to galley form, the editors of Poet Lore are splitting their attention between selecting poems for the Spring/Summer 2009 issue, and the upcoming 119th Birthday of Poet Lore.  The celebration will be in November, and we will have more information as the event draws near.  We have confirmed DC’s own A. B. Spellman (http://indefenseoftheblue.blogspot.com), as well as NYC’s Gardner McFall, a poet who is being featured by Contributing Editor, Jane Shore in our Poets Introducing Poets section in our upcoming issue.

Keep your eyes peeled for Vol. 103, No’s 3&4 this fall.  The cover features a wonderful image from the Library of Congress of Theodore Roosevelt, reminding us of this historical election year:

It’s still not too late to renew your subscription to Poet Lore, and receive this fantastic issue hot off the press.
