Interim: A Journal of Poetry and Poetics is happy to announce the inaugural season for the Test Site Poetry Series. A prize of $1,000 and publication by the University of Nevada Press will be given for a new, full length collection of poetry. All entrants to the contest will also receive a free print issue of Interim.
Interim editor and poet Claudia Keelan will serve as the series editor. The winning book will be chosen by the series editor and advisory board, which includes Sherwin Bitsui, Donald Revell, Sasha Steensen and Ronald Wilson.
We’re looking for manuscripts that engage the perilous conditions of life in the 21st century, as they pertain to issues of social justice and the earth. The winning book will demonstrate an ethos that considers the human condition in inclusive love and sympathy, while offering the same in consideration of the earth. Because we believe the truth is always experimental, we’ll especially appreciate books with innovative approaches.
Along with Witness and The Believer, Interim is affiliated with Black Mountain Institute and housed in the Department of English at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Established by the late Wilber Stevens in 1944, Interim is one of the longest running “little” literary magazines in the country.
Please submit manuscripts through Submittable with a $25 reading fee.
The deadline for submissions is Nov. 1st, 2018. The winning manuscript will be announced in December and published in fall of 2019.
