Submissions For The 2025 42 Miles Press Poetry Award Are Now Open!
The 42 Miles Press Poetry Award was created in an effort to bring urgent and original voices to the poetry reading public. The prize is offered annually to any poet writing in English, including international poets, poets who have never published a full-length book, as well as poets who have published several. New and Selected collections of poems are also welcome. We’re especially eager to hear from writers who are Working-Class, Black, Indigenous, People of Color, as well as LGBTQ writers, disabled poets, neurodivergent poets, young poets, and anyone whose work has been overlooked or pushed to the margins
The winning poet will receive $1,000, publication of their book, 50 author copies, and will be invited to give a reading at Indiana University South Bend as part of the release of the book. Read our submission guidelines on Submittable to learn more.
