 LESS THAN ONE WEEK: The 2020 Frontier Digital Chapbook Contest Judged by Carl Phillips Chapbooks are a huge milestone for poets, and we're always looking forward to the Frontier Digital Chapbook Contest—where we get to find that one electric bundle of poems that rocks our world in less than 30 pages. We welcome manuscripts that need some polishing as our editors are always looking forward to working with the authors to make the book the best it can be for publication in 2021. The winner of the FDCC will receive $2000 and publication of the free, downloadable chapbook on Frontier, as well as over 100 author copies to share and sell. Most exciting of all: the chapbook will also be distributed to tens of thousands of readers, influencers, editors, agents, and magazines through our newsletter. Don't underestimate the power of this reach to empower your career as a poet. Our 2018 winner, How Often I Have Chosen Love already has over 8000 downloads. Referred to as "one of America's most original, influential, and productive of lyric poets," our guest judge, Carl Phillips is the author of a dozen books of poetry and two works of criticism. Phillips will select the winner. He is professor of English at Washington University in St. Louis and has served as judge of the Yale Series of Younger Poets since 2010. His own books of poetry include Wild Is the Wind and and the recently released, Pale Colors in a Tall Field. |
