The Poet’s Billow is happy to announce that Marlo Starr has been selected as the winner of the 2020 Pangaea Prize. The winning poems along with a selection of the finalists can be read on the 2020 Pangaea Prize 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 Atlantis Award. If you would like to stay updated on contests and publications in the future you can join us on Facebook and Twitter.

About our Winner:
