If you are working on a submission for this project, please let me know.  If I do not hear from anyone by Friday, August 24th, I am afraid I will have to cancel the project for now.  Thank you.

Greetings!
I have heard that many of you have been working on your submittals for this effort.  If your branch is not, I hope you will do so.  I realize many of you are getting ready for Pennsic but I wanted to remind you of the project. 
I ask each branch to select one poet from their group to send a poem to be featured in a book called “The Atlantian Book of Verse.”   I am also asking that all past Poetas Atlantiae consider submitting a poem for a featured section in addition to the poems submitted by the Branches.
The poems should be written in a period style.The subject may be any medieval person, place or event.The poet is introducing us to that person, place or event in verse.Poems should be no longer than will fit on two 8 ½ x 11 sheets.Please keep a 2" border on the left to allow for binding.The page should include the title of the poem, and the author’s name and branch. Please use a lightweight paper to make binding easier. 
Once you have selected your poet and poem, have the poet, or a scribe, produce the poem in calligraphy (using a lightweight paper to make binding easier) that suits the time period and provide illumination for the work.Illumination does not have to fill the entire border but should be appropriate to the subject of the poem. The work should then be sent to me with a separate page indicating the name of the poet, branch, calligrapher and illuminator so these can be listed in the index.
The poems will be made into a book and sold around Atlantia as a fundraiser for the Kingdom Travel Fund.The original pages will be bound in a book and presented to our Prince and Princess upon the occasion of their coronation.A standard release waiver will need to be signed by the poet and scribe.  The waiver can be found at  http://chronicler.atlantia.sca.org/forms/index.htm
The deadline to submit poems is August 31, 2012.
 I would appreciate it if the coordinator for your branch could drop me a line with their contact information.If you have any questions, please contact me at poeta at atlantia.sca.org
I am looking forward to receiving your submittals.  I hope we will garner enough work to make this a worthwhile effort.  Please note:  If your branch is not doing a submittal, please feel free to submit your poetry offering directly to me for consideration.  Thank you.
Yours in service,
Katarzyna
