Hats Off! to Luke Hankins, poet and editor of Orison Books, whose Letter to the Editor appears in the new issue of Poets & Writers magazine. "As both a writer and an editor of a literary press, I think it’s unethical for contests that charge entry fees to extend deadlines," Luke says. "If organizations expect submitters to follow their guidelines, then the organizations must also adhere to them, in all respects—including submission deadlines."
