Melee Live is a print magazine of poetry, politics and art which
also has a substantial online presence. Melee Live is the
descendant of Melee magazine, which quickly got the attention of
the international poetry community in 2007. Melee Live. No.1.
Winter 2011. THE MFA SCHOOL: A call for submissions was sent to
every MFA writing program in the country requesting one poem only
from any student currently enrolled. We received over 200
submissions (via email) from 57 writing programs. Five poems were
selected from five poets to be included in this issue. One story
was solicited to provide some balance. This issue also contains
commentary and an editor's note which addresses the question of
what it means to be an American poet. What it means to be in The
MFA School. IN THE MFA SCHOOL ISSUE: Kaj Anderson-Bauer, J. R.
Bouchard, Jen Coleman, Kevin Finn, Jess Quinlan, Todd B. Stevens.
Ed Sanders also provides a comment on The MFA School. Melee Live is
published three times a year, in conjunction with Melee Live
Monthly: a new pocket-sized monthly magazine which includes one
poet, one story and one essay or one translation in each monthly
issue. Melee Live and Melee Live Monthly are published by USPOCO
BOOKS, the publishing division of us poetry company. S U B M I S S
I O N S Melee Live Monthly: Submissions are read year round. A
response is only guaranteed if the work is accepted. We make no
claims about "simultaneous submissions." Submit your work wherever
you want, silly After three weeks, if you have not heard from our
staff, you may inquire (via one email) on the status of a submitted
work. Send all submissions (five to ten pages of poetry, one story
or one essay) to

genre and writer's last name in the subject line. Submissions may
also be considered for publication @ ManuFacturedArtists.com, a

un-themed issues, submissions are solicited. Melee Live has no open

only accept email submissions. THE NEW ROTATING EDITORSHIP: Each

calendar year, Januaryish, Aprilish and Septemberish. Editorial
duties will be passed on each year (method to be determined by
current editor), including full creative control of the magazine
