A Note from the Publisher
We are aware of how closely knit and intimate the poetry community is and that, invariably, among the finalists and the selected winner, there may well be a name familiar to us. As this competition is open to a global audience of writers and poets, it is predicated on transparency, fairness and good faith, ALL identifying information will be withheld from reader adjudicators and the Guest Judge.
