The Eric Gregory Awards
imprimatur is currently on hiatus. In the meantime, I am curious to learn of any ideas you might have to help promote a first book of poetry. Does imprimatur need more links to residencies and fellowships? Interviews with first-book poets? More how-tos? Book recommendations? Fix broken links?
Comments are open for this post. Thank you.
