Hello Poets! The Poet’s Billow is extending the deadline for the Pangaea Prize to June 1st.

The Pangaea Prize is awarded for the best series of poems ranging between two and up to seven poems in a group. Judging will be based on poems as individual entities as well as their cohesiveness – that can be in terms of common themes, images, narrative or however else you would like to group your poems. All poems must be previously unpublished.  There are no restrictions to length or style.

The winning poet receives $100 and will be featured in an interview on The Poet’s Billow web site. The winning poems will be published and displayed in the Poet’s Billow Literary Art Gallery. Finalists will also be considered for publication.

We nominate for the Pushcart Prize, Best of the Net Anthology, and The Best New Poets Anthology.

Visit our Literary Art Gallery to read our previous winners and finalists.

If you would like to stay updated on contests and publications in the future you can join us on Facebook and Twitter.

The Poet’s Billow is starting an online poetry workshop July 7th run by poet and author Michelle Bonczek.

This is a 4 week workshop. Post a poem onto a private website each week and comment on your fellow poets’ work. Michelle Bonczek will give editorial and revisionary comments on poems; through the course of a workshop she may give suggestions for books to read, suggestions for publishing and exercises designed to generate new work. You are guaranteed feedback on a poem of your choosing each week.  

This is a great option for anyone who wants honest editorial feedback on their work. It is great for writers who want to publish, enter MFA programs, just want to improve their writing or even just started writing. 

We expect to have writers of multiple styles, and ages, with different experiences and plots in life. But what will bring us all together is a love for poetry and a desire to interact with others who write.

For more information on the workshop and to sign up for the workshop visit the workshop page on the poet’s billow website: https://thepoetsbillow.org/workshops/
