Poetry Competition: Tenth Gate Prize from The Word Works

Tenth Gate Prize from The Word Works

The Word Works will be accepting full length manuscripts of poetry between June 1 and July 15 for the first annual Tenth Gate prize. This new imprint, run by series editor Leslie McGrath, supports the work of poets writing in English who have at least two previously published full length collections from literary presses. There is a $25 entry fee and a $1000 prize. The Tenth Gate, named in honor of Jane Hirshfield, recognizes the wisdom and dedication of mid- and late-career poets.
