Willow Springs Fantasy League

First Day:

• Form Groups (2 three-person teams; 2 four-person teams):
• First Task: Formulation of a statement by the groups and then the whole class of "What we are looking for."
• Assign five poems to each group.

Second Day: Each three-person group picks three poems to recommend, and each four-person group picks four poems. Each group discusses how to pitch the selected poems, and decides who is going to pitch what.

Third Day: Paper Ballots will be distributed for note-taking and for voting. Each person will present a pitch, which must include a reading of the poem. Each person will get four votes, and votes will be counted only after all the pitches have been made.

Submission Guidelines (to consult on the first day):

• Rattle
• Driftwood Press
• Helen
• Hermeneutic Chaos Journal
• Sixteen Rivers Press
• The Monarch Review
• Able Muse
