We’re looking for poetry! NDSU Press has opened its 2020 submissions portal for our Poetry of the Plains and Prairies (POPP) Award!

North Dakota State University Press seeks poetry submissions of any style for our annual POPP Award chapbook publication. While the author(s) may call any place home, their submissions must deftly capture the feeling of, as well as the reality of, living on the plains and prairies. Authors may submit any number of poems equaling thirty to thirty-five pages in length, with no more than one poem per page. (Single poems may extend more than one page.) The selected poetry collection will be published as a limited edition chapbook, hand-printed with antique letterpress equipment.

Our POPP Award submissions date ends March 17, 2020. Please follow our NDSU Press Submittable link for details.

NDSU Press publishing interns print the 2019 POPP Award chapbook, Harvest Widows, by Nick Bertelson (Missouri Valley, IA) at The Braddock News Letterpress Museum.
