FOR FURTHER exploration, we offer this poll at Margin to survey your thoughts about the accessibility and popularity of literary magical realism.

SURVEYS ARE DUE DECEMBER 31, 2005.

Answering the survey is simple. Below you will find the survey. Cut and paste the text of it into an e-mail to us; in the text of that e-mail, answer the questions and transmit the e-mail.

You may also print out this page and fill it out, or, on a separate sheet of paper, type in or handwrite your answers and send via surface mail, if that is a better option. Send to Margin, 321 High School Road NE, PMB #204, Bainbridge Island, WA 98110, USA.

All polls delivered via email should receive an automated reply receipt. We cannot be held responsible for polls lost in either electronic or surface transit.

There's no real restriction on the length of your answers, but if you decide to send thousands and thousands of words, we may wish only to excerpt part of it for the benefit of our readers.

Poll results will be made available in early 2006; your participation in the poll automatically permits us to reprint your answers in the final report on poll results. Please note that we may not be able to reprint all answers. If you wish your answers to remain anonymous, you may indicate so with your responses.

Thanks for participating in this survey, and for supporting literary pursuits on the web!—The Staff, Margin
