Read our new interview with winner of the 2017 Pangaea Prize Marjorie Stelmach, author of The Angel of Absolute Zero, upcoming in 2022 from Cascade. 

Here is an excerpt:

“We carry time inside us, coded in ways we can’t begin to decode. By trying to make meaning of the little piece of time we individually carry, and, of course, failing, we tend to maintain a microscopic view, which isn’t, perhaps, the best thing for producing a clear-eyed vision. There is, I believe, a larger text, but that requires the occasional shift to the telescope or to imagination or prayer. I try to shift back and forth, if possible, from the personal to the cosmic – which brings with it a sense of vertigo.”

The Poet’s Billow has selected Catherine Cryan, Eric Hertz, and Richard Thompson as the winners of 2018 Bermuda Triangle Prize. The winning poems along with a selection of the finalists can be read on the 2018 Bermuda Triangle announcement page.

We also named a number of semifinalists. This was a difficult list to make and hard decisions were made on every level of judging. We receive so many great poems and don’t have the resources to publish them all.

The Poet’s Billow is also now welcoming submissions to the Bermuda Triangle Prize and the Pangaea Prize. If you would like to stay updated on contests and publications in the future you can join us on Facebook and Twitter.
