HE MOTH POETRY PRIZE 2019 IS NOW OPEN
The Moth Poetry Prize is one of the biggest prizes in the world for a single unpublished poem. The prize is open to anyone (over 16) as long as the poem is previously unpublished, and each year it attracts thousands of entries from new and established poets from over 50 countries worldwide.
The prize is judged anonymously by a single poet. The judge only learns who the shortlisted poets are following the selection of the winning poems. Past judges include Marie Howe, Deborah Landau, Daljit Nagra, Leontia Flynn and Billy Collins.
Past winners include Natalya Anderson, Paul McMahon, Lee Sharkey, Ann Gray (whose poem was shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best Single Poem) and Abigail Parry (who was shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best First Collection).
The winner of The Moth Poetry Prize 2018 was Jude Nutter’s ‘Dead Drift’. You can read more about Jude and her poem in the Irish Times. All four shortlisted poems appear in the summer 2019 issue of The Moth.
