The Whispering Wisdom Poetry Prize

Whispering Wisdom’s first poetry competition invites you to explore the many threads of connection — to self, to others, to nature, to the sacred, or to something ineffable that moves through us all. The organizer is looking for heartfelt, reflective, or surprising interpretations of this universal experience. Poems that move us, slow us down, open something. Whether rooted in personal memory, spiritual insight, or ecological wonder, your voice is welcome.

Prizes
