  • The submission window for the annual Wishing Jewel Prize is closed. The Prize awards $1000 and publication for an innovative, book-length manuscript that challenges expectations of what a book of poems can be. Named for an essay in Anne Carson’s Plainwater, we seek work that questions the boundaries of genre, form, or mode while engaging the rich possibilities of lyrical expression. All finalists are considered for publication. The contest is open June 21 through November 30.

  • The submission window for the Stephen Mitchell Prize for Translation is closed. Green Linden Press will award $1000 and publication for a book-length manuscript in any genre translated from any language into English that honors Mitchell’s linguistic acumen. All finalists are considered for publication. The contest is open June 21 through November 30.

  • Interviews with poets and reviews of poetry books are read year-round. We are interested in conversations and reviews that provide insight and even complicate our understanding of recent or overlooked books. See our entire Interview & Review Series begun in 2008.

We accept mailed submissions from incarcerated individuals and waive any fees (208 Broad Street South; Grinnell, IA 50112); otherwise, please use the link below to send your work. We look forward to it!
