Erin Lorandos, a long time poetry marathoner who organized a digital anthology in the past, is organizing another one this year. Jacob and I are not involved, but we are grateful to Erin for doing this and are passing on the information below, which is all from Erin.
Hello fellow poets!
My name is Erin, and I’m reaching out to everyone to say I’ve volunteered to create an online (digital only) anthology for this year’s marathon.
I did this a couple of years back, and it was such an honor! I’m thrilled that Jacob and Caitlyn are letting me go ahead and do it again. This will be made available (as a downloadable PDF) for free, via The Poetry Marathon website.
Here’s what I put together last time, so you get an idea of what the final product will be like: https://thepoetrymarathon.com/blog/2024/04/the-online-anthology-is-now-available/
