2013 POETRY CONTEST
Folio Announces 2013 Poetry Contest
Deadline: February 15, 2013
After our wildly successful poetry contest two years ago, Folio is proud to announce its 2013 Poetry Contest, which will be judged by the acclaimed poet and translator Martha Collins, author of five collections of poems, the most recent of which is White Papers (Pitt Poetry Series, 2012). In a review in the New York Times, Dana Goodyear, poetry editor at The New Yorker, writes of her collection Blue Front, “Her discursive, breathless, self-contradicting, breaking-off-and-circling-back technique makes the book feel like the testimony of a traumatized witness.”
The winner of our contest will receive $500 and publication in the Spring 2013 issue of Folio. Our judge, Martha Collins, will also select a first runner-up and an honorable mention, which will each receive $150.

2012 Prose Contest Winner
Folio Congratulates 2012 Prose Contest Winner Susan Taylor Chehak
Chehak’s story, “Just So” was chosen by award-winning author, Alan Heathcock as this year’s winner, and is praised by Heathcock as being “steeped in a kind of temporal beauty, unfurling the mysteries of family and self, and culminating in a moment of clarity, a portrait of a woman deemed shallow but filled with the rich wisdom of a dreamer.”
Thank you to all who submitted to the 2012 Prose Contest.
