“All the world at once is what is held in the lines of these poems: the birthers, the babies who will not live, the faces of flowers, the stones, the salamanders, the trees, the saints, the living woman who sings these sentences into a rigorous music of what it is to be alive: and from it comes poetry that will plead and mourn and hunger and bless. I returned again and again to these poems and was nourished.”

—Marie Howe, Pulitzer prize-winning poet and 2024 chapbook contest judge

The 2024 Chapbook Competition was a collaboration between The Poets Corner, Toad Hall Editions, and the Camden Festival of Poetry.
