The Poet’s Billow is now accepting submission for the Bermuda Triangle Prize – the deadline is March 15th.

The Bermuda Triangle Prize is given to three poems on a theme from up to three different poets.

Current Theme: Running 

Running for president, running down the street, running up the bar tab, we are open to interpretations on the theme. It is up to you how literal or abstract you would like to play on the chosen theme.

Each winning poem will receive $50, for a total cash prize of $150. The poems will be published and displayed in the Poet’s Billow Literary Art Gallery. We nominate for the Pushcart Prize, Best of the Net Anthology, and The Best New Poets Anthology.

Submit Early – Worried about submitting earlier and paying for an entry you will have to withdraw: we will allow you to replace withdrawn poems until the end of the reading period.

The Poets Billow is extending the submission period for the Pangaea Prize until May 31st, 2015.

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 All poems must be previously unpublished.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. Click here to read last year’s winner, Brittany Cagle.

Submit now. We have already started reading entries and hope to announce a winner by the end of June.

Post-Internet Poetry

This is an interesting article from The New Yorker about how the internet age has influenced how we make poetry. Below is an excerpt. Read the entire article here.

“Over the past few years, the art world has been throwing around the term “post-Internet” to describe the practices of artists who use the Web as the basis for their work but don’t make a big deal about it. For these artists, unlike those of previous generations, the Web is just another medium, like painting or sculpture. Their artworks move fluidly between spaces, appearing sometimes on a screen, other times in a gallery. A JPEG of a painting is often considered another version of a painting, and vice versa.” –Kenneth Goldsmith
