Will we feature different poetry every issue? Individuals could submit work to the ESA, but who would be published? How do we pick work? Because there is a limited amount of space in Uniter it will have to be 400-500 words, do we need to follow certain themes, to coincide with Uniter stories? Political as opposed to abstract? Concerning recent events in New York City? Has it been beaten to death already? -Problem: Don’t want to restrict to ESA members only, it should beopen to all students. -Could we have a literary supplement?
