Quercus Review

"Established in 2000, QR has quickly become a prominent literary arts journal, publishing numerous nationally recognized, award-winning authors and artists from around the world. Additionally, QR continues to discover new and emerging voices in fiction and poetry.  However, our main goal is simply to publish the best work we can find," says founding and chief editor, Sam Pierstorff.

Slam on Rye

"Simply stated, a poetry slam is an event in which poets perform their work and are judged by members of the audience. Typically, the host or another organizer randomly selects the judges from the audience. They are then instructed to give numerical scores (on a 0-10 scale) based on the poet's content and performance." --taken from SlamOnRye.com
