Poetry Society of America

Four prizes of $1,000 each and publication by the Poetry Society of America are given annually for poetry chapbooks by poets who have not published a full-length collection. Two fellowships are open to poets 30 or younger living in any of the five boroughs of New York City, and two of the fellowships are open to poets of any age living anywhere in the United States. Mary Ruefle and John Yau will judge the New York City competition, and Thomas Sayers Ellis and Nick Flynn will judge the national competition. Submit a manuscript of 20 to 30 pages with a $12 entry fee by December 22. Send an SASE or visit the website for complete guidelines.
