Our chapbook contest opens up again for the month of December.  We’re looking for great poetry, for words that inspire and thrill us.  We’re especially interested in chapbooks with a theme or arc, but we are open to whatever you send us.   You can read the full chapbook guidelines here.

Last year’s inaugural competition was a huge success.  We received 115 submissions and were wowed by the diversity of styles, forms, and subject matter.  We’re expecting an an even stronger showing this time.

You poets awed and amazed us last year, and we know you’ll do the same this year.  We can’t wait to read your poems!

Final judge will be announced soon.
