Poem of the Year Contest and Diana Brebner Prize deadlines changed
The deadline for Poem of the Year is changing to February 1, 2010 and the Diana Brebner Prize deadline is changing to March 1, 2010. This change was made in response to feedback from our readers, and also to help us accommodate the transition from two to three issues per year (which means no gaps or overlaps in subscriptions for those who make consecutive contest entries). See contests.

How Poems Work
In January’s How Poems Work, Shane Neilson elucidates an apocalyptic streak in the poetry of A.F. Moritz, exemplary in the poem “What Way”
In August’s How Poems Work, Susan Glickman is the first to step across a newly opened border and discuss the attraction of how a poem originally written in Hebrew by the great Yehuda Amichai still works in English. This will be the first column in Arc ’'s How Poems Work where a Canadian poet addresses a poem by a non-Canadian; you will, we think, see more columns connecting Canadian poets to the world in the coming months.
