Nominate a Poem

Think a poem deserves a place on the Ark, but you’re not the author or publisher? Nominate it.

To nominate a poem, just fill in the spaces provided below with the necessary information.  Our editors will review nominated poems and, if appropriate, we'll attempt to secure rights to present and publish the poem as a part of the competition. If we're successful, the poem will appear in a Current Round and will be available for reading, voting, publication, and the Poetry Ark Prize.

The poet must be living and writing in English—no translations.
