The Poet’s Billow is accepting submissions for the Pangaea Prize – the deadline is 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 All poems must be previously unpublished.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. Click here to read last year’s winner, Marjorie Stelmach who is the author of five volumes of poetry, most recently, Falter (Cascade Books, 2017). Previous books include Without Angels (Mayapple), A History of Disappearance and Bent upon Light (Tampa).
In the past we have hosted readings at AWP to which we invite all our contributors. We also nominate for the Pushcart Prize, the Best New Poets anthology, and have had contributors as finalists for Best of the Net.
