Submissions
Slate Roof Press, a Greenfield-based, member-run publishing collaborative, has announced its first poetry broadside contest.
The collaborative is highlighting 15 years of unique bookmaking by selecting two poems to become letterpress broadsides. The first poem will be drawn only from contestants living in Franklin or Hampshire counties. The second poem will be drawn from contestants across the United States.
Both contest winners will receive the $250 Glass Prize and will have 100 copies of their poem printed in a limited letterpress edition. Slate Roof Press will sponsor a reading for the local winner, and will also record readings of both winners to be posted on Facebook and other venues. Winners receive 10 author copies of their broadside.
There is a $10 reading fee. The deadline to submit is June 15. For full details, visit slateroofpress.com.
