I found this outside the office some time ago and I tacked it to the wall. Now I'm wondering if it's a suggestion (or submission?) of some kind.
I love the diagram, and I wouldn't mind seeing some diagrams in the inbox, though of course, all submissions should come with a return address of some kind...
But I don't want to turn Copper Nickel into another kind of publication, no matter how much I might enjoy it.
Matthea Harvey was named winner of the Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award, given annually by Claremont Graduate University, for her book Modern Life, which includes the poem "Free Electricity," previously published in Copper Nickel 7. Congratulations to Matthea, whose book you should certainly read.
Copper Nickel 11 is here, and we're busy packing them up to send to you contributors and subscribers and single-issue buyers. But there are so many here in the office, we've got plenty to send to you, whoever you are.
I know you've already heard crow about how absolutely wonderful this issue is, featuring a tasty essay on microbrew by Simmons B. Buntin, a novella by Alyson Hagy, poems by everyone from Aimee Baker to Mark Yakich and debut publications by Cate Witter, Kelsey Ripley, Courtney Charles, and Amber Rickner.
Did we mention you really need this and that you can order it between now and March 1st for 33% off the cover price and have it mailed right to your waiting hands?
Seriously, folks, this is it. Come and get it.
