Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.

The On The Edge MSPS chapter is seeking submissions for their 2009 anthology. This year's theme is Facets of Love. Your subject can be love of pets, gardening, sports, love of country, love of your life, etc. Each person whose poem(s) or story gains acceptance for publication will receive a free copy of the published book, a $17.50 value. The books are library-bound (stitched) hardback and have an ISBN number assigned. This will be our seventh annual anthology. We plan to limit the book size to approximately 200 pages.
