Congratulations Poets!

Lyrical Passion Poetry E-Zine has announced the winners of their "2011 Spirit of Japan Tanka Contest". The talented Alexis Rotella, Adjudicator and Commentator gives a concise commentary of the winning poem written by Kathy Lippard Cobb from Florida. Alexis Rotella is a brilliant writer and I thank her for participating. Please visit the website to see the complete list of winners. Lyrical Passion Poetry E-Zine has remained committed to publishing the very best of Japanese short form poetry and short fiction. Come see what's new!

2011 has already proven to be as competitive and exciting as 2010 due to the tremendous growth of their readership and contributing writers from around the world.

Lyrical Passion Poetry E-Zine is also calling for submissions of poetry and short fiction for their webzine. There are no e-zine submission deadlines or reading fees, they just welcome prolific writing of lasting literary value. Complete guidelines are available online at Lyrical Passion Poetry E-Zine.

The web-presence of this e-zine is profound with international winning writers such as Ruth Schiffmann, Richard Stevenson, Irene Golas, Kathy Lippard Cobb, James Tipton, Keith A. Simmonds, Patricia Prime, Paul Smith and Ernest J. Berry.
