[New-Poetry] AWP sold out follow-up

[Edward Byrne]

On Friday morning I posted an article at "One Poet's Notes" about AWP being sold out and not allowing on-site registration. I insisted AWP needed to amend its policy.  As a result, I later received a note from one of the AWP officials informing me that they have now decided anyone who has made travel or lodging arrangements will quietly be allowed to register if they contact AWP soon. Also, anyone who is to be a presenter or to participate in the book fair will still be allowed to register. I think they are making other case by case exceptions as well. Perhaps this will help someone on the list.  You can pass this information along to others if you like.

The original "One Poet's Notes" entry is at the following:

Happy New Year to all!
