Had the pleasure of hearing Michael Wiegers speak last January. He's really committed to what he does. Unfortunately, they were so deluged by manuscripts when they held first book competitions that they don't do that anymore. Tough one, that.
It seems that you're right they only accept MSs from poets who have already published a book. Well that let me out.
