The World Poetry Movement (WPM)/Movimiento Mundiale de Poesia (MMP)

... is pleased to announce to the world its next major event, which is called: *A LEAP FORWARD*. It will take place *E V E R Y W H E R E* on the Leap-year Day and Night, Wednesday 29 February, 2012.

The Coordinating Committee of the WPM/MMP urges all poets, groups involved with poetry throughout the world, to begin organizing events in their particular areas - whether it involves cities, small towns or villages - under the umbrella of *A LEAP FORWARD*.

Events that will be multiple leaps forward under *A LEAP FORWARD* moniker - events with poets who, in the past year (what with Tunisia, Egypt, Wisconsin, to name but a few) have been catalyzed by dynamic inspiration and realize their consciousness of the world has grown by leaps and bounds, can reveal those passionate leaps as part of the great flow of events on Leap-year Day and Night, 2012, and collectively move the whole world forward toward the democracy that all of us are dying for and want to attain before we die.

Let the WPM/MMP know where your event will be held by writing to: worldpoetrymovement@gmail.com

the fib review (online, USA)

The Fibonacci poem is a short poetry 6-line poetry form that is based on the structure of the Fibonacci sequence. For those unfamiliar with the Fibonacci Sequence, it is a mathematical sequence in which every figure is the sum of the two preceding it. Thus, you begin with 1 and the sequence follows as such: 1+1=2; then in turn 1+2=3; then 2+3=5; then 3+5=8 and so on. The poetry sequence therefore consists of six lines of 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8, with each number representing the number of syllables that a writer places in each line of the poem. For literary purposes the standard sequence usually stops at 8 syllables, but many poets have experimented with poems that go well into higher digits, or poems that are a reversed sequence. As a literary device, it is used as a formatted pattern in which one can offer meaning in any organized way, providing the number sequence remains the constancy of the form.

The subject of the Fibonacci poem has no restriction, but the difference between a good fib and a great fib is the poetic element that speaks to the reader. No longer just a fun form to write as a math student, the poets who write good Fibonacci poems have replaced the ‘geek' with the poet.

You may submit to The Fib Review by sending your Fibonacci poems, narratives, or experiments to musepiepress@aol.com.

Make sure that what you send is your best work. Please also make sure to type in the subject line "For The Fib Review." Submit the poems only in the body of the e-mail in plain text. No submission e-mails will be accepted with attachments. If for some reason your work is long and attachments might be necessary, contact the editor, Mary-Jane Grandinetti, at the above e-mail address first so that a plan can be formulated to receive your submission.

The Fib Review will accept submissions year-round and will publish accepted submissions in three issues to be published over the course of a calendar year.

Tyneside Poets - Call for submissions from New Zealand Poets

Poet Dave Freeman, in association with the NZPS, invites New Zealand poets to submit to the Tyneside Poets blog: "The 'we' is me and fellow blog editor Keith Armstrong. We met back in the mid-1970s through a group of writers styling themselves as the Tyneside poets. We produced a reasonably regular journal, Poetry North East, and performed readings in pubs, clubs, at festivals and on local radio. The group ran its course and we all moved on to other things. A few of us continued writing and maintained informal links. Then a couple of years ago poetrytyneside.blogspot.com was born (now http://poetrytyneside.blogspot.co.nz/), initially to archive on-line material from PNE, copies of which are archived at Durham University. However, we soon began to use the blog as a vehicle for former Tyneside Poets to post current work as well.

"From the 1970s onwards the TP had international connections in Europe, so as I was going to NZ it seemed a good idea to form links there as well. Thus our invitation for submissions. Hopefully it will be fruitful collaboration."

Send 2 or 3 poems in a Word attachment to: tynesidesubs@hotmail.co.uk As always, we advise you to visit the site before submitting, to see what kind of poetry they publish.
