Re: “2007 Poetry Issue”
The Indy poetry contest is not confined to students. Here are the eligibility guidelines we published: "Contestants must reside in Alamance, Chatham, Durham, Johnston, Orange or Wake counties, or be full-time students at a Triangle college or university. Ineligible: Contributors to the Independent, employees or relatives and partners of any employee of Carolina Independent Publications." By the way, as for the comment about "professional writers," people who earn their living from writing generally do not do it as poets!

What gives? The rules of the contest stated that submissions must come from full-time students at area universities. Is the spirit of the contest really to reward, for the most part, a handful of professional writers? Pretty lame independent.
