New Voices Anthology Fall 2022

A series for emerging poets between the ages of 10 and of 25. A monthly reading series and a bi-annual publication which strives to bring together younger poets from various communities.

Deadline to submit one poem: December 1, 2022. Keep this poem limited to 35 lines total.

When determining the total line length for each poem, include spaces between stanzas (ex: a poem of 5 couplets would equal 14 lines). Numbers or section breaks should also be included as lines when calculating the total line length. Count an epigraph as 3 extra lines. A line that has more than 60 characters (including spaces and punctuation) should be counted as two lines of your total line count. If lines are staggered like a Ferlinghetti poem, estimate the width of the line.

The final book will be printed in 11 point Garamond font on pages that are 4 1/2 inches wide. Poems with lines longer than 4 1/2 inches may be rejected due to printing constraints.
