LAST CALL for POETS! Comment‘s second-annual “Making the most of college” poetry contest ENDS July 1st, 2010:

How does a 21st-century education lead you to respond to a 19th-century visionary? Write a sonnet which interacts in some way with Percy Bysshe Shelley’s “Ozymandias“—a refutation? an update? a round of applause? Imagine the poem afresh for university students 2010-11.
