Murders don’t happen here anymore.
They used to: in the time of blacksmiths,
when husbands with flaming hammers raged
against wrong priests and fainting wives.

From Penelope Brown: Redwing, 1888

Katharyn Howd Machan’s most recent published collections are Dark Side of the Spoon (Moonstone Press, 2022) and A Slow Bottle of Wine (Comstock Writers, Inc., 2020). A professor in the Department of Writing at Ithaca college, she lives in Central New York with her beloved spouse Eric Machan Howd.

Bermuda Triangle Submission Guidelines

Pangaea Prize

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 All poems must be previously unpublished.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.
