We have a bit of a history with
Matrix Magazine. We've long stocked the magazine itself, and we've also hosted a few events with Matrix contributors, including editor Jon Paul Fiorentino. It's a great little magazine, and they're hosting a pretty sweet contest for poets and prose writers alike.
Click here for details. Basically if you win, you receive a round-trip ticket to
POP Montreal, accommodation, a VIP pass to POP, AND the winner/winning poem will open for a rock band during the festival. Madness!
Some quotes about the contest:
"This is the only conceivable way for a poet to get a groupie."-- Jon Paul Fiorentino, Editor
"A once in a lifetime opportunity for poets and short story writers to not be abject failures!" -- Jon Paul Fiorentino, Editor
"Poetry doesn't belong in books. It belongs in mosh pits." -- Shannon Tien, former awesome D+Q intern (and awesome all around person) and most probably awesome Matrix contributing editor
Get crackin' peeps, the deadline is July 1st!
