    Pity. There's a lot of great and good poets in the rest of the world! Sigh. --Paul (in Ireland).

      Yeah, they'd probably sweep the contest too. This restriction is to make it possible for someone from America (north, and norther {grin}) to win.

        Of course that fact that I'm a dual national, Irish and Canadian (or should that be "Irish and Northerer"), still doesn't allow me to enter. And I was feeling very poetic and all! -Paul (still in Ireland).

          It also discriminates against potential poets who live in the US but are currently on active service overseas.

      I could always ask the new folks doing TPJ if they would want me to do another Perl Poetry Contest. I didn't restrict people by country!
