Poems that are not subject-driven or narrative but might still be of particular interest to a teenage girl reader are also welcome." Quoted from WhatsGoodforGirls. blogspot.com

The book will be aimed at high school and college age girls. You can submit up to three poems and the deadline is October 1, 2007. The anthology will be published in 2009.
