Contest Information

What does home look like to you? Is it an old farmhouse, a certain
person, a childhood bedroom, a river you run to? Think about when
you feel most rooted. Where in that world that you feel most at peace,
most yourself?


Write a poem that takes us there with you. A home doesn’t have to
be a building with four walls. It can be a state of being. We want to
know what exactly “home” means to you! This year’s contest is
very special because so many have requested that winners and
finalists be published. We hear you and have made it so!
