Check out the last winner

As the year continues to run, the call continues with this month’s theme being “Times!”. We have had many events to mark the uniqueness of this month in our country and beyond and since poetry offers itself as an avenue to let out these emotions, we encourage you to use it as an outlet. As you know, poetry wouldn’t complain.

Have you got that one poem that speaks to the heart of our theme? Then this call is for you.

Poets, especially younger poets are encouraged to send in a single original, unpublished poem. Please inform us immediately if the submitted work is published elsewhere before the winner is announced. Previously submitted work is ineligible.

This edition’s entries will be judged by Carl Terver. Carl Terver who is the author of “Glory to the Sky” was longlisted for the 2024 Common Wealth Short Story Prize. He is also the founder of afapinen and Digital Editions Editor for Konya Shamsrumi.
