About the QuickFox 2011 Poetry Anthology
Why produce a poetry anthology, you may be asking? Well, for starters, we love poetry. We also realise how difficult it is getting an entire book of your own poetry published. Our solution to this problem is to produce an anthology featuring the best of everyone's work, which opens the book up to a broader market.
