A new poetry group in the north-east, Out The Box, is making a last call for submissions for the first issue of its magazine. It describes itself as a “platform for writers to get their words in print and read out there in the north-east … and beyond …” and wants “inspirational emerging and established poets/prose writers” to submit work for consideration, either poems up to a maximum of 40 lines each, or prose with a limit of 1,200 words. Successful contributors will get a free copy of the magazine. The deadline is 1 March. Submissions should be to Patrick Green at patch_ratch@hotmail.com
