If you haven't yet seen our Quixote spectacular, click here. You won't want to miss out on this terrific survey of the world's most beloved Modern novel.

Our fiction contest has closed, and we are busy at a number of projects: finalizing our decisions about general submissions from Feb-Apr 2005, processing our fiction contest, producing the next edition of Periphery.

POETS NOTE: However, we have one more contest open: EVIDENCE OF MIRACLES is the theme for this year's free verse contest, with a deadline of August 1. Details

The staff is otherwise taking some time off for the summer, so any messages you send us may receive a delayed reply. We're also reviewing our mission statement this summer and making some plans and priorities for the next five years. Keep checking back for news about Margin's plans for the next five years.

In the meantime, the newsblog will be on hiatus until September. We are also completely closed to general submissions. Of course, we always love getting letters from our readers, so feel free to drop us a note anytime with your feedback.

Have a terrific summer; we'll see you in the fall!
