We’re delighted to offer the inaugural Love & Eros Prize for 2021: $3000 1st prize and publication! We encourage love poems beyond the confines of what’s traditionally “romantic.”
Rather, we’re seeking unflinching examinations of our sharpest human sensations—those of desire, longing, devotion, and intimacy. All iterations of love are welcome—send us your bitter and your sweet, your queer, platonic, reverent, and devotional.
Open to writers worldwide, writing in English.
Prizes

Guest judge, Kaveh Akbar, author of Pilgrim Bell (Graywolf, 2021).
