Poems Niederngasse Poetry Contest 50 US dollars cash prize for the winner! No entry fee! Three additional poets selected for online and print publication. If you are dedicated to poetry, Poems Niederngasse is seeking your best work.  Surprise us, make us see our world in a new way, use language that demands to be read.  Write to appeal to our senses!  Show us a world we can reach out and touch! Remember that we've been reading poetry for a long time, so we're  not likely to be impressed with poems about your kitty, your lovely baby, or how bad your daddy was.          Think Phillip Levine. Think Jane Hirshfield. Think Li-Young Lee.  Think Heather McHugh.  Only unpublished, original work considered.  While we accept simultaneous submissions, please notify us immediately if your work is accepted elsewhere.         Send up to (max) three poems  to contest@niederngasse.com.  And we care only about the poetry!  Don't send your biography,  your list of publications or any other information.  Include your three poems in the body of an email (No attachments) with a subject line that reads: Poems Niederngasse Contest: Your Name. Contest deadline is 31 March 2005.  Poems will be online in the  May/June  issue and printed in the Niederngasse July print magazine. All entries will be also considered as Niederngasse's regular submissions and some will be published in future editions. The appropriate mail will be sent at the time of acceptance. All entries will be acknowledged, but only the winners will be notified by email. If you do not receive a receipt for your entry within a day or two, mail us.  Further information about the progress of the contest can be read on the site. Good Writing! Amy Unsworth
