Join NAIS and the UT Poetry Center for a conversation and poetry reading featuring award-winning Diné poet Jake Skeets. UT Austin Professor of Anthropology Anthony Webster will moderate a discussion and Q&A of Skeets work, and Skeets will share poems from his books Eyes Bottle Dark with a Mouthful of Flowers (2019, Milkweed) and Horses (2026, Milkweed).
Find details about every creative writing competition—including poetry contests, short story competitions, essay contests, awards for novels, grants for translators, and more—that we’ve published in the Grants & Awards section of Poets & Writers Magazine during the past year. We carefully review the practices and policies of each contest before including it in the Writing Contests database, the most trusted resource for legitimate writing contests available anywhere.
