A
A Poem Contest
Public Poetry is making this contest FREE. All our activities are focused on creating new
opportunities for poets and poetry. While we withdraw from social life in the face of the pandemic（全球流行病），we can also be productive, allowing ourselves to reflect and start things in a
fresh state of mind-all good stuff for writing poetry inspired by these times we' re in now.Normally, our contests come with cash awards, a print anthology（诗选） and book launch. This time, we need your help to accomplish this. What you give is what we'II give.100% of donations will go towards prizes, readers' and judges' fees, and anthology publication costs.
