Me too, August 31! And CQ a couple of weeks before me. Nice to have such company. 
P.S. I'm also pretty sure that "Men's Showers" by Nic Dris (Sept 3) is one that was workshopped here in the crit forum, though I forget the poet's nom here.

Just a small note about EDP (and EDF) - I recently had a collection accepted to be published and wanted to include one of the poems EDP had published. I was told that I could not because per the contract they own the rights to the poem for 2 years for any type of print collection - personal or anthology.
They did work with me so that I could include one of the poems but they updated the contract going forward to make it more clear that you can not use any poem published at EDP for a chapbook for two years after they publish it.
For me, I am trying to get my work published so I have decided to stop sending in work to EDP. I wanted to share this info in case anyone here submitting there plans on getting a collection or chapbook published you are aware that you might have a hard time with using any poem EDP has claimed rights to.
With that being said, I want to be sure to make it clear I think EDP is a great ezine, I think Oonah is a wonderful person and editor. They put out a quality publication and I check in and read almost daily.
From a writers POV, I just wanted to share what I found out with you all so you don't get trapped if you have any intentions of having your work published in a chapbook any time soon.

Hey Polenth, they had some mistakes in an older version and worked with me to allow me to include a poem in an upcoming chapbook. I agree, everyone should read the details of a contract closely, this was the first time I had ever heard anyone defining anthology to include a personal chapbook, traditionally it is specific to more of a "best of the year" type of thing not anything with ISBN - Just wanted to share the info in case anyone runs into the same thing.
And again, EDP is great and they were very help in working with me - just wanted to give every one a heads up on it. 18 months is a long time to hold all rights to a poem for one dollar -
