Nostrovia! Poetry, back in late 2011 to early 2012, had a weekly poetry contest.  That contest was put in "limbo" for a little while, and it never quite got out of purgatoryl.

Has your poetry or writing ever been "too obscene" for publication?  Here's a remedy for that. Nostrovia! Poetry is currently accepting submissions for a one-issue zine titled "Too Obscene". The goal of this publication is to show that there can be literary merit within the obscene.  A poem that says "fuck" as much as possible won't gain publication.  A poem that has literary merit and value that discusses material that could be deemed offensive will be. There will be poems that aren't "obscene" within the collection as well, though the focus is on the great pieces of writing that were rejected by other presses because of their content. T
