It’s Best New Poets season and this year 32 Poems is proud to nominate a pair of excellent poems from Issue #43: Jacob Boyd’s “Strophic Cascade [The woods you know.]” and Christopher Childer’s “There.”
We hope you’ll join us in celebrating these poet’s work.
This year, 32 Poems has nominated V. Penelope Pelizzon’s “Cliche,” Brandel France de Bravo’s “After the Ecstasy, the Laundry,” Jared Harél’s “Ode to Barbed Wire,” and Craig van Rooyen’s “Tenderness in Men” from 32 Poems #40 for the next Pushcart Prize Anthology. From 32 Poems #41, we have chose Keetje Kuipers’s “Cremello Horse” and Melissa Crowe’s “Always I’ve been trying to show you” to represent us.
We couldn’t be more proud of these poems and we hope you’ll join us in celebrating their nomination.
It’s always a challenge to narrow our favorite contributions from emerging poets to a pair of nominations, but it’s also a great pleasure to reread the poems.
This year, we’ve selected Diana Cao’s “Love Poem for Brood X” and Forester McClatchey’s “Alpine Meadow” to represent us in Best New Poets‘ competition. Please join us in congratulating these poets and take the opportunity to spend a little more time with their words. We think you’ll be glad you did.
