judges, who worked tirelessly to individually score each poem entered.
Join us next Sunday, October 17th at 2:00 pm (Pacific) for the next
broadcast of PSH Live where we'll announce the winners first. Tune in
to hear all the statistics...how many people entered, average scores,
and all the names of the poets who scored in the top 10 positions. If
the winners happen to be listening, we'll ask them to call in and
read their poems as well. You're also invited to call in and share
the poem you entered (regardless of whether it won in a post
announcement open reading) or to share your experiences on having

Thanks to our many sponsors, the judges, and all of the contest
entrants for making this year's contest another success

NEW ONLINE PUBLICATIONS LISTINGS THIS WEEK:
VIRTUAL PAPERCUT
Virtual Papercut shelters whatever artsy bent you might not actually
have but just think you possess...or something. What content you
Bleed is your choice. We approve the injury (or not). If you choose
not to submit, you can still leave a Whine induced rant style note to
the editor who may read it eventually. If needing to spill your guts
before tossing what junk you shouldn't have ate but your goading
friends insisted then Drunk Dial such less than clever pranks or
nonsense you haven't devised but insist on taking credit for.
Instructions are on the website but I'm not really expecting anyone
to follow them. Remember (if you can), this is entertainment; have
fun or else....just be a pain.

PERMANENT OBSCURITY
Inspired by the underground sexploitation films of the 1960s, this
bold updating of the "roughie" subgenre and lampoon of auteur
filmmaking largely takes place in New York City's East Village (circa
2006), and it chronicles the rise and fall of a unique and intense
relationship. Dolores and Serena, two chemically dependent,
down-and-out artists set out to take control of their lives by making
a fetish-noir/femdom movie. Of course, things don't exactly turn out
as planned. For more visit: http://permanentobscurity.com/

Brugge (that¹s how THEY spell it.) Stop in to Magritte¹s house.

toothbrush in Montmartre. Travel through Europe with Rick Lupert as
his wife earnestly tries to get the pen away from him. Rediscover
