Dear Membership -- Here is a sample of the Press Release we intend to use to promote the Poets Gone Wild Anthology. Any of you who would like to do free advertising for us should feel free to utilize this Press Release. Love, M ------------------------------------------------- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Of interest to editors and journalists covering: Poetry Books, Poetry Anthologies Wild Poetry Press Announces the Release of “Poets Gone Wild: An Internet Anthology” available at Lulu.com August 20, 2005 -- Wild Poetry Press announces publication of “Poets Gone Wild: An Internet Anthology” in conjunction with Lulu Enterprises, the world’s fastest-growing provider of print-on-demand books. Wild Poetry Forum is a remarkable internet community where poets representing many countries from around the world converge to create, critique, and share poetry. Wild Poetry Forum was established in November of 1998 and is still a thriving and vibrant family. Many of our members have gone from novice writers to published professionals due in part to the instructive and supportive critiques and feedback they receive in our forum. Wild Poetry Press is a subsidiary of Wild Poetry Forum. It was established in July of 2005 in order to showcase the talents of our most prolific and honored members. This collection, “Poets Gone Wild,” showcases over 30 of the most talented and diverse voices that make Wild such a unique global experience. Wild Poetry Press is pleased to introduce readers to this virtuoso group of poets whose work illustrates a shared passion for the precision and beauty of language, and whose hearts are infused in everything they write. Readers who wish to interact with these authors can find them at www.wildpoetryforum.com. “Anyone who thinks that Internet poetry is the realm of mad housewives, frustrated engineers trapped in a world of science fiction, lovesick teenagers, or flower children still lost in the sixties certainly has not read this book. These poems sizzle with enough steak to feed a small army. The country club of poetry will never guess who’s knocking on their door to come to dinner,” says Cornelius Vanvig, author. Poets Gone Wild is available for purchase at www.lulu.com, in a marketplace filled with other unique, and sometimes, downright strange items.

Thanks, Denis. I have sent it off to PR Web: Press Release Newswire and posted a modified version of an announcement at PenShells and Desert Moon Review. I have also sent a copy to rus bowden asking that perhaps he could include it in his Poetry & Poets in Rags: IBPC news bulletin. And I'm off to investigate more venues. Love, M | ||

Just heard from Rus and he said he would try to slip a notice in his next issue. Thanks, Rus! You're a great guy. And he also forwarded this to Gina Bryson over at the IBPC, and she said: "Great News M! I'll forward this to Cherilyn for the Newswire and "In Print" section of the IBPC's site." so, it looks like we're in over there. Who knows where I'll go next! *smile* Love, M | ||

Thanks so much Lisa and Mr. B. If people keep spreading the word any way they can, that should handle the small stuff. As for the bigger advertising venues, I'm still checking around. Costs are a major factor. I'm trying to keep them as low as I can. Love, M |
