As we reach the end of National Poetry Month, the Lois Cranston Memorial Poetry Prize is open for submissions. This prize honors bold, resonant poetry—and the legacy of a writer who believed deeply in the power of women’s voices.

If you’ve been holding onto a poem, revising, waiting for the right moment—this is it.

Let National Poetry Month be your nudge:
✨ Submit the poem
✨ Take the chance
✨ Be part of a long tradition of fierce, necessary work

Deadline approaching. We’re ready to read you. Guidelines at Calyxpress.org
