Half Moon Books: Call for poetry submissions for Olympic Games anthology
Deadline: Fri 31 Jan 2020
Half Moon Books are inviting submissions for Faster, Higher, Stronger, an anthology of poems inspired by Olympic sport to mark the 2020 Olympic Games.

Sport and poetry may not seem to be obvious bedfellows, but the best stories about sport are really stories about people.

If you don’t have anything to say about champions like Nicola Adams, Jesse Owens, or Hannah Cockroft, perhaps you have something to say about the time you joined your local archery club, or your childhood dreams of becoming an international gymnastics superstar.

You might want to think about the moments when sport has collided with politics – the Black Power salute, the Cold War boycott, the terrorist attack.

The theme encompasses the Paralympics, and the Winter Olympics.
