Place and Open Space: The semi-annual Poetry Celebration and Contest!

[Tree Fitzpatrick]

Hi. . . I'm catching up on oslist emails. . . . I also read your email,
Jeff, in which you ask for a-b-c poems.

I am overwhelmed by all the rules and criteria.  It doesn't feel very
open-spacey.

I guess you are 'in charge' of this poetry context but as a full member of
this list, I invite folks to write and submit any poems using any format
they like.
