Feel free to get creative and use the prompt to your own liking. Inspirational, intense, dreamy, moving, magical, profound, vivid, funny, dark, frightening, or horrifying is what we are looking for in this contest. Use the powerful messages from your subconscious to understand yourself and your motivations better. Give them a chance to come to the surface and create poetry with them. Often, dreams reveal something deeply personal about us because they bring up suppressed emotions that have been buried deep inside our hearts. We want you to chase your dreams and help you make them come true.

It’s also one of the most commanding poetic debuts in years. Invented identities, double identities, provisional identities-his art always bearing witness to a sense of self held long enough to shed at a moment’s notice. Prior emerges as a poet not of identity, but identities.

Confounded by Japanese-Canadian legacies too painful to fully embrace, Michael Prior’s split speakers struggle to understand themselves as they submit to their reinvention. Winner of The Walrus's Poetry Prize, Matrix Magazine’s LitPop Award, Grain’s Short Grain Contest, Magma Poetry’s Editors' Prize and Vallum’s Poetry Prize, Michael currently resides in Ithaca, New York, where he is an MFA candidate in poetry at Cornell University.Ī mesmerizing and moving first collection, Model Disciple gives us a poetry of two minds. Michael Prior's poems have appeared in publications across North America and the UK. He explores what we share with this creature of blood and bone and what is hidden, alien, and ineffable. In Caribou Run, Richard Kelly Kemick orchestrates a suite of poems both encyclopedic and lyrical, in which the caribou is both metaphor and phenomenon both text and exegesis. He has won the poetry prizes of both Grain magazine and Echolocation. Richard Kelly Kemick’s poetry, prose, and criticism have been published in magazines and journals across Canada and the United States, including The Walrus, the Literary Review of Canada, the Fiddlehead, the New Quarterly, and Tin House (Open Bar). Copies of Caribou Run and Model Disciple will be available for sale at the event. Meet both poets, enjoy the readings, and take part in the discussion of poetry, metaphor, and identity.
