Is the 2015 Anthology the one that is signed by the winners and shortlisted poets?
Regards
Alan
The 2015 anthology offer selections from all of the 2015 shortlisted collections, but it is not signed by all of the shortlisted and winning poets.
Hi! I am interested in sending my poems as I am an amateur writer and want people to read my work.
We’re not able to respond to individual requests for poetry critiques or book promotion retweets. For feedback on your work, we recommend you seek out writing and poetry clubs, circles and associations for assistance, mentorship, collaboration. We provide links on our site including Publishing Resources and Links, Associations and Publications. Hope these help!
poetry is the best weapon to break out during the new world orders war on terror. keep up the good work!
During the reading event of shortlisted poets and the award ceremony, do the shortlisted poets have their books on display/sale and also do book signings? Thanks
Yes, after the reading event at Koerner Hall, books are available for sale and the poets are available to sign them.
