The lovely Poetry Ireland are looking for inviting submissions for their Introductions 2009, a series of readings in the Spring which offer poets working towards a first collection, and with a track record of publication in journals and magazines, an opportunity to read their work in public. (they pay too, or they used to before the R-word hit us)
To apply for the series, send six poems and a short literary-biography to Introductions, Poetry Ireland, 2 Proud’s Lane, off St Stephen’s Green, D2 before
Friday, 9 January, 2009.
So if you've a decent, published back catalogue, what have you got to lose? Go for it.
And if you don't think you have a published history, why not start sending out to magazines now? Search my blog for suggested magazines. And maybe you can apply next year.

Thank you so much for this - and for all your info on relevant events, comps, mags, etc. for other 'emerging' writers... I hope you don't mind, but I want to share your blog with all my creative writing students...
