[New-Poetry] Recommending Poetry Presses?

[Skip Fox]

Entering your poetry into a contest always seemed to me to be like entering
your mother in a wet tee-shirt contest. (Not a pretty sight in a number of
ways.)

Yikes, Hal, we haven't gotten through the first month of 2008, yet I've 
already found something of yours to agree with--emphatically.  But don't 
spread the advice.  My press is about to have a contest.  Every entry 
guaranteed a first-place tie, with a prize of $5.  No entry fee, but 
there is a handling change of $50 per poem.
