The organizer is seeking poems that explore the creative alchemy of words, form and visuals. Seek inspiration from the chemical bonds of creativity. Poems can be text, audio, or video files, exploring entirely new forms, experimental existing forms, or radical subversions of tradition.

$1000 prize and publication in the Connecticut River Review await the winner! Up to four finalists will also be celebrated with a two-year free membership in the Connecticut Poetry Society.

Submit your experimental poems from June 15 to July 31, 2024. Reading fee: $15 for up to 3 unpublished poems.

We are keen to encourage quality, so suggest writers to check their stories before submitting using Prowritingaid. They have free and paid versions and are the best writing software we know to help improve grammar, readability and check for repetition, ‘sticky’ sentences and suggest alternatives.
