Poetry International announces the inaugural call for entries for the Poetry International Prize.

The prize is for the best original poem, and the winner will receive $1,000 and publication in Poetry International.

In addition, three finalists will be published in that same issue and
five honorable mentions will be designated and considered for
publication.

Only previously unpublished work will be considered for the contest, which will be judged by Ilya Kaminsky.

Please include your name, phone number, and email on the cover sheet of
your submission only, as well as an SASE and a check for $15. That
reading fee will cover up to five poems, but you can include additional
poems for $3 each.

All entries must be postmarked by March 14, 2008.

Thanks for your interest and good luck. We look forward to reading your submission!
