SUNDAY with CM is Literary Day on ColumbiaMagazine.com:

We never know what all will show up in the mail for tomorrow, but we already can see it will be a big day for humor, thought provoking essays, great photographs, history, poety; all things pertaining, in a broad sense, to Culture and Enlightenment, and poetry - the latter now epidemic in Columbia/Adair County, known through out the World as the Conceptuary Capital of American Literature, Mark Twain having been conceived here and all. We welcome new contributors - the planet's fastest-rising new poets, writers, and photographers - who wish to showcase their work alongside established, done-ready arriven, stars of SUNDAY with CM. We already know there will be a Carol Perkins column, so be forewarned: The bar is high, tomorrow. -EW
