Poetry/Short Fiction Contest



Tomorrow, September 10, is the birthday of American poet, Mary Oliver. I became familiar with her work only recently.

I like her "Instructions for living a life. Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it." 

Good advice for a writer, don’t you think? 



Deadline: September 30, 2012
No entry fee. Only one story per author.
Prize: $100

The Jerry Jazz Musician reader has interests in music, social history, literature, politics, art, film and theatre, particularly that of the counter-culture of mid-twentieth century America. Your story, 5000 words or less, should appeal to a reader with these characteristics.
