The cruelest month?\u00a0 We hope not — at least, not this year!\u00a0 Lots of exciting things are going on this April for LR<\/em>.\u00a0 Here’s a quick rundown of our news for the month:<\/p>\n

National Poetry Month Prompt Contest (Deadline EXTENDED)<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’ve had a modest response to our National Poetry Month Prompt Contest<\/a> so far, but we’d like to give more people the chance to enter, so we’re extending the deadline to Thursday, April 8th.<\/strong> The same rules will apply (we’ll announce the third runner-up on Friday the 9th).\u00a0 Please do take the time to submit a prompt if you haven’t already done so — it only takes five minutes, and if you win, you’ll not only have the opportunity to see your prompt featured on our blog, but will also receive a signed copy of Monica Youn’s Ignatz<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Lantern Review <\/em>at AWP 2010
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

As we mentioned in last month’s update, the LR <\/em>editors (Mia and Iris) will both be in Denver for the Association of Writers & Writing Programs conference next week, April 7-10<\/strong>.\u00a0 If you’re going to be there, please come look us up around the Kundiman\/Alice James Book table, or at one of the Kundiman events, and say hello!\u00a0 We’ve been working really hard on some nifty promotional materials to distribute, so if you visit Kundiman’s table, you’ll also be able to pick up\u00a0 bookmark and one of a series of handmade mini-books we’ve produced to featuring selections of our blog content.\u00a0 Of you follow us on Twitter or are a Facebook fan, you’ve already seen some sneak peeks.\u00a0 We’ll post photos of the finished products and a list of Asian American poetry events taking place at AWP on the blog early next week. (We’ll also do an event coverage post about AWP after we return from Denver).<\/p>\n

April Community Calendar Updated<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’ve updated our Community Calendar page<\/a> for the month of April.\u00a0 As always, please continue to let us know about events we haven’t included.\u00a0 We’ll continue to add to and update the list as the month goes on.<\/p>\n

End of Reading Period for Issue 1
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our submissions period for Issue 1 will close on April 15th<\/strong> (tax day!) If you haven’t yet sent in your work, we want to see it!\u00a0 You can find our submissions guidelines here. (Many thanks to those who have already submitted).<\/p>\n

Happy Passover or Holy Week to those of you who are celebrating!<\/p>\n

Best,<\/p>\n
