Call for Poems: Kansas History’s “Kansas at 150” Special Issue
Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains, issued quarterly by the Kansas Historical Society, Inc., publishes new research on Kansas and central plains history and offers interesting, well-illustrated articles that appeal to both the serious student and the general reader.
In commemoration of Kansas’s sesquicentennial in 2011, Kansas History will offer its readers a special “Kansas at 150” issue next spring. The essays in this issue will explore the theme of historical or collective memory as it relates to the identity and imagery of Kansas and/or the plains.
To open this special issue the editors of Kansas History will select and publish the poem they feel best speaks to the issue’s theme.

I’m planning to send one but it is on my computer at work and I’m off. Not mentally, though.
