Calling all American Poets!!!
|
Do you know about the Walt Whitman Award from the Academy of American Poets. It is “… given to honor a poet’s first book. Contestants must be living citizens of the United States who have neither published, nor committed to publish, a volume of poetry 40 pages or more in length and in an edition of 500 or more copies, either in the U.S. or abroad. Books on a smaller scale, such as chapbooks and limited editions, will not disqualify a poet.
“There are no restrictions on the style of poetry or subject matter. Manuscripts must be between 50 and 100 pages, typed single- or double-spaced.
“Entries will be accepted only if postmarked between September 15 and November 30, 2006. All manuscripts must be accompanied by a signed entry form and $25 fee. The judge for the 2007 award will be August Kleinzahler.”
Go to http://www.poets.org/page.php/prmID/121 for the entry form and more information.
