This coming March-April, The Orchard Street Press will conduct its sixth annual Poetry Contest: $500 first place (and the Malovrh-Fenlon Poetry Prize), $300 second, $200 third. Prize-winning and other submitted poems will appear in Quiet Diamonds, our annual poetry journal, and select entrants will be invited to submit chapbooks for possible publication. In 2022 we published 10 chapbooks from entrants to the Contest. We expect to publish a similar number from the ‘23 Contest.
