Epiphany: the sudden realization or comprehension of the (larger) essence or meaning of something.
Basically, during these rounds I want you to realize poetry for yourself. You will be challenged, I promise.
Round 1 - prewrites.
50 audition, about 25 make it through.
*Prose/freeverse only.
*50 lines or less.
Two yesses is an automatic go-through-to-the-next-round.
One yes means we'll discuss at the end of the round.
Two no's means you will not be moving on to the next round.
If you cannot handle a no, please do not enter. Don't complain if you do.
If you want an explanation as to the yes or no you recieved, feel free to ask.
