Connie Crawford, a 2009 Mendocino Coast Writers Conference participant, writes:
A letter was waiting for me when I got back from the conference: a poem of mine is accepted for publication in an anthology by Sixteen Rivers Press! It's the first poem I have sent out. I am thrilled. The 16 rivers in the press name refers to the 16 rivers of the San Francisco Bay watershed. The book will contain about 100 poems, with an introduction by Robert Hass It will be out next spring. I learned of the contest via Ellen Bass' excellent email list of opportunities for poets which she keeps remarkably up to date and useful.
Interesting that Sixteen Rivers Press was founded by one of our past presenters, Terry Ehret, a former Poet Laureate of Sonoma County. The press has extremely high standards, so this is indeed an honor for you. Congratulations!
