Encore: Prize Poems 2017

The top 150 prize-winning poems from NFSPS 2017 contests are featured in this edition of Encore, the annual anthology of the National Federation of State Poetry Societies. From nearly 8,000 submissions representing 43 states, Canada, and the United Kingdom, these winning poems provide a diverse collection with challenging poetic forms and subjects. Poets give fresh, personal interpretations to a wide range of contest themes and write in forms from lune to sonnet, from minute poem to villanelle. This volume opens with a $1,000 prize-winning narrative poem by Christine Irving of Denton, TX, and closes with poetry by three gifted high school students. The 2017 Encore is an anthology to savor, cover to cover.
