The O Mission Repo inspires acts of erasure in public schools!

I was recently delighted to have my attention brought to the following online article on (Poets & Writers Dot Com) as part of their extended consideration of The O mission Repo.

Apparently several roomfulls of high school students in New Hampshire were locked inside the school and not allowed to leave for Xmas break until they all wrote erasure poems. Sounds crazy, right? Check it out now.

Reading Thanks and Equinox Updates

Many thanks, first and foremost, to those who turned out for last Saturday's reading. JenMarie and I were both relieved that the weather held off enough for us to get there, so seeing everyone else who turned out was a pleasant surprise indeed!

Jen is currently up in Boulder putting the finishing touches on Bombay Gin and her graduate thesis, but when she returns we will be reading all the wonderful submissions to our first annual chapbook contest and putting together the spring 2009 issue of Fact-Simile, so stay tuned!

Saturday April 4th, 2009 Reading at Naropa University

I almost forgot: Travis Macdonald and Lisa Birman will be reading at Naropa University, upstairs in Shambhala Hall on April 4th at 8 pm

We would love to see you there!

Equinox Chapbook Contest

Yesterday the first day of spring came rolling in the door and with it the official deadline for Fact-Simile's first annual Equinox Chapbook Contest!

The response has been overwhelming...So much so that, there's just now way we're going to get around to reading all the subs this weekend.

With that in mind, WE'VE DECIDED TO EXTEND THE DEADLINE for another week as we organize and review submissions. So if you were on the fence, now is the time to send some work along to:

Monthly Updates Overdue

February was a busy month for the boys and girls here at Fact-Simile Editions. We have been enjoying all the good press we can from "The O Mission Repo." We are just starting to take a look at submissions for the Spring 2009 issue of Fact-Simile magazine, featuring an interview with Kristin Prevallet. So be sure to send something along for consideration if you're so inclined.

We are also actively courting advertising for this issue, so if you have an artistic or literary endeavor that you'd like publicized at ridiculously low rates, please be sure to contact us here.
