Hi Everybody!

 I'm Paul Stevens, who often posts as "Caratacus" elsewhere. This is my
 first contribution to The Works and I'll probably bugger it up somehow
 :)

But anyway: Thanks, Maz, for mentioning The Shit Creek Review, of which
I am one of the editors (the other is Nigel Holt). The philosophy of
TSCR is bascially one of being inclusive - in the sense that we will
accept good poetry that is simply good, as well as good poetry that is a
bit "out there", or "edgy" (as the current buzzword might have it). Not
that "anything goes", but that the quality of the poem as a poem is main
criterion. All this is, of course, debatable - as it should be.

I want to encourage subscribers to The Works to consider submitting
verse, prose or art to TSCR. The email address is:

Submission guidelines at:

Here is the blurb for our next issue (note: the jpegs are not
mandatory):

<<The Shit Creek Review is seeking submissions of poetry, prose, reviews
and articles for its second edition. Its theme will be 'Where I Live' :
poems and prose about the place you are in the world, whoever you are.
We hope that you can supply JPEG pictures that would go with your work,
too. Submission deadline is December 20th 2006 for the January 2007
edition.>>


Cheers,

Paul Stevens
