32 Poems’ Nominations for Best New Poets and New Poetry from the Midwest
We love the Best New Poets and New Poetry from the Midwest series for the incredible collections they gather year after year and for the regular opportunity they offer to celebrate incredible work from our pages.
This year we have nominated Traci Brimhall’s “Oh Wonder”, Austin Segrest’s “The Ice Advances”, and Mark Wagenaar’s “The Book of Vigils” for New Poetry from the Midwest. We’ve also submitted Austin Segrest’s poem for the next incarnation of Best New Poets along with Katie Schmid’s “The Boatman“.
We’ve had great success placing work in these series in the past and we’re as proud of this year’s nominees as we’ve ever been. I hope you’ll join us in cheering on these poems.
