The Poet’s Billow has selected Catherine Cryan, Eric Hertz, and Richard Thompson as the winners of 2018 Bermuda Triangle Prize. The winning poems along with a selection of the finalists can be read on the 2018 Bermuda Triangle 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 Bermuda Triangle Prize and the Pangaea Prize. If you would like to stay updated on contests and publications in the future you can join us on Facebook and Twitter.
