Make and Transmit

Hi!

Hello! Welcome to WOMB. WOMB is a new, online journal for women's poetry. We're brand new, and we're still just getting a feel for things, but we wanted to say Hello! and Welcome!

Right now, we hope to put out an official call for submissions on April 1, with the magazine launching on January 1, 2007.

In the meantime, we'd like to make this space chock full of links that are of interest or are useful to women poets and people interested in women's poetry. We'd also like to build a complete list of women poets who blog, so if you are a woman poet who blogs or know of a woman poet who blogs, please let us know.

Thanks very much!
