As stated by the sponsor, “Our landscape has exploded with presses and magazines over the last few decades with the advent of digital publications—so many good poems have been found, celebrated, and, unfortunately, forgotten. We want to bring light to those lost pieces of poetry, the work that you love but no longer receives the attention it deserves. Send us your favorite previously published poems!“
Submission Guidelines for The Previously Published Poem Prize
- Submissions are open internationally, to any poet writing in English—other languages are okay to include, as long as the meat of the poem is in English.
- There is no page requirement, but submission must be no more than 3 poems. Please submit all your poems in ONE document.
