Best New Poets Anthology
Best New Poets is an annual anthology of fifty poems from emerging writers. The anthology began in 2005 under series editor Jeb Livingood with George Garrett serving as the first guest editor. It is currently distributed nationally under University of Virginia Press.
The poems submitted for Best New Poets 2018 must be unpublished work, or work published after January 1, 2017, and for which the writer currently retains all rights (allowing the writer to publish it again without permission from another magazine or publisher).
Each submission to our Open Competition can contain up to two poems (in one document of no more than ten pages total, please).
Entry fee is $4. Deadline is May 20, 2018
