Margie (journal)

Margie, also known at the American Journal of Poetry, is a literary journal, based in Missouri, that features the work of the nation's leading poets. The journal is dedicated to the memory of Marjorie J. Wilson (1955-1977). The founder and editor is Robert Nazarene.^[1] The journal sponsors several prestigious contests, including the annual Robert E. Wilson & Ruth I. Wilson Best Poetry Book Contest. ^[2]

Among the notable writers whose work has appeared in Margie are Sherman Alexie, Jacob M. Appel, Julianna Baggott, Kate Braverman, W. S. Di Pietro, Alice Friman, Michael Harper, Tony Hoagland, Allison Joseph, Mark Rudman, Enid Shomer, David Wagoner, Laura Madeline Wiseman and R. Scott Yarbrough.

After a decade of splendid contributions to the art of poetry, the website for Margie appears to have been pirated by a porn site. For months in 2011, Margie has not been replying to mail, either e-mail or postal, and may, I hate to say, be defunct.
