Sustained Resistance: Our Resilience is a protest reading sponsored by members of the Writing Resilience Workshop. Sustained resistance pertains to a lifelong path of resistance dedicated to practicing and speaking up in every corner where we can extend our influence. As artists and writers, we are shepherds and guardians of the flame. Our collective articulation is powerful and moving. Poets speaking out include Patricia Spears Jones, Rachel Hadas, Elaine Equi, Larissa Shmailo, Charles Bernstein, and dozens of others. There will be an open mic at the consclusion of the featured readers.
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.
