      NOTE: The first 100 poets to submit a poem will receive a copy of Neuron Mirror, by Virginia Walker and Michael Walsh, a book of poetry dedicated to the memory of four poets who died of pancreatic cancer. The book has raised over $9,000 for the Lustgarten Foundation. The goal: over $10,000.
    Although the Onyx Theater is very small, participants are encouraged to attend the awards ceremony at which the winners will receive a certificate and will read their poems. When the awards are announced, those participants who wish to attend will have to reserve in advance. Time permitting, participants will be invited to read, too.
