Poeta Atlantiae <Re: Coronation Event Announcement>

["Jennifer Thies" <jthies@umuc.edu>]

In addition to the backlog scroll competition, and the bardic
competition, the new Poeta Atlantia will be decided as well.  A
competition to decide the new Poeta Atlantia will be held following the
Coronation ceremony.  The theme of the poems should be inspired by
Niobe, Queen of love and beauty.  Please direct any questions to myself,
Baroness Genevieve d'Aquitaine, KMoAS.  (Contact information in the
Regnum in the Acorn)
