"Matter" Poetry Contest - New Deadline of Sept. 9, 2023

MATTER is our most inclusive contest. All poems that become finalists will be presented in the Matter XXIII anthology. The intention behind this particular contest is to give great odds for publication. It's one of MATTER’s, and Oprelle’s, founding principles:

to uplift potentially unheard voices,
their stories and poems,
to prevent them from being lost in the masses.
