International Poetry Contest 2023 Open!

from the NYPL Digital CollectionsIt’s that time of year again!  We can’t wait to read your submissions for the 2023 International Poetry Contest.  We want to read poems that sizzle, poems that make us cry or laugh or lose our breath.  We want to be inundated with your beautiful and strange words.

As always we appreciate all kinds of poems, so feel free to send us your sonnets and villanelles and sestinas, your free verse, your nonce forms–whatever you got, we want to read it.

Contest submission entry is $15 per each packet of 5 poems (not per poem!!).  Feel free to enter the contest as many times as you like, provided you pay the fee.

The contest runs until May 1st!
