Conversations and Connections Conference
APRIL 21, 2012
JHU- DC CAMPUS
www.writersconnectconference.com
REGISTER NOW!
Conversations and Connections is not the same old writer’s conference.
Get the real scoop directly from the people who are making decisions about publishing every day. Conversations and Connections features editors from a mix of established and cutting-edge literary magazines and small presses, all of whom will be there to help you take the next step in publishing your work.
Face to face.
Conversations and Connections provides a comfortable, congenial environment where you can meet other writers, as well as editors and publishers. Our “speed dating with the editors” (one session is included in the registration fee, additional sessions available for $5) is a ten-minute meeting with an editor who will review the first two pages of a story, a novel synopsis, or a few poems, providing feedback on how you might improve your work or where you might consider sending it.
Something for everyone.
Our participants know the current markets. Whether you’re an experienced writer looking to take the next step, a newcomer looking for the coolest small presses, or anybody else sending your writing out into the world, Conversations and Connections has a panel you need to hear and an editor you need to meet. This year, we’ve updated our format to include more craft lectures and other advanced topics.
It’s Cheap! And You’ll Actually Leave with Stuff.
For a registration fee of only $65 (same as last year), you get the full-day conference, one ticket to “speed dating with the editors,” a subscription to a participating literary magazine, and a book from one of our speakers.

In Memory of Morgan Lucas Schuldt
Editor's Note: After hearing in December that Morgan underwent a lung transplant, I had been checking his FB page every day for updates from his family and friends. Today I'm very sad to learn that he passed away on January 30th. Morgan was a talented poet and editor. My condolences to his family and friends.
My More Merely
In this surround, above the downs,

An mmhmm her
fever-few-&-far-between.
Cherry get, if gotten you be.
Otherhow unhindered by the things
of me. Things like: junk-hold lungs,
bouts with be, the umm-hush & long static of kinda can.
Are twenty-six flavors of -elicious
& what-if ’s head-fuck nagging blood-back for more
cream & rush, heave & shush––
dirt-back glares having some pull over the percentages.
No tut-tut strut, no lapse in gush. Just holier than wow––
an old-fashioned dumb-lovely ah yes! suitable for basking.
Sheer towardness, my raredear, I’d sky-write
a surrender for.
Little red likelihooded
I lust so much.

Split This Rock Poetry Festival
March 22-25, 2012
Washington, DC
Poetry by and for the 99%!
Featured Poets, 2012
Split This Rock Poetry Festival: Poems of Provocation & Witness invites poets, writers, activists, and dreamers to Washington, DC for four days of poetry, community building, and creative transformation. The festival features readings, workshops, panel discussions, youth programming, parties, activism—opportunities to speak out for justice, build connection and community, and celebrate the many ways poetry can act as an agent for social change.
As people’s movements ignite here at home and throughout the world in response to economic inequality, political repression, and environmental degradation, the festival will consider the relationship of poets and poetry to power and to the challenges to power. We will also celebrate the life and work of poet-essayist-teacher-activist June Jordan on the 10th anniversary of her death.
Split This Rock calls poets to a greater role in public life and fosters a national network of socially engaged poets. Building the audience for poetry of provocation & witness from our home in the nation’s capital, we celebrate poetic diversity and the transformative power of the imagination. Please join us in March!
