Send poetry that sees in the dark. Personal poetry that integrates the power of light and dark in life, recognizing that neither is a permanent resting place, rather, together they stimulate movement and growth; never a final location.

Write that. We are not looking for rants or lists of profanity; we are looking for a sincere, multifaceted exploration of what it means to choose to grow toward the light. Format: Poetry (rhymed or free verse) up to 150 lines. Only entries written in English from Canada or the United States will be accepted at this time. Entry Fee : $28 Canadian for up to 3 poems. (includes a subscription to Toward the Light or a subscription extension) Each additional poem $7.00. All funds must be in Canadian currency. In Canada you can pay by cheque, money order or use your credit card with PayPal. Outside of Canada, you can pay with a bank draft in Canadian funds or use your credit card with PayPal. Deadline : must be received by April 1, 2010 All word submissions must be emailed as a Word document attached to the email. send: Complete MS looking for: Poetry specifically: General |
