            <description>May 2008 - On this latest show we focused on site information, introducing the new Poetry Call and it&apos;s hosts Tahanee and Samiyah, upcoming events, the importance of criticism and peer critiques, and answered a few questions along the way. It was a bit less structured than previous calls, but indeed fun and informative (Brent taught us a new word in Latin).

*Get an update on the Poetry chapbook
*Get submission info for the June Men&apos;s Project and much more.</description>
