Furniture Press Poetry Prize
Deadline: June 30, 2009
Judges: tba
The 1st annual Furniture Press Poetry Prize will be awarded to the writer that best exemplifies the poetics and particularities of Furniture Press editors and judges.
Two judges will be invited to determine a manuscript's pressability and will work with anonymous, unidentified texts. Only the editor of Furniture Press will know the true identity of the applicants and their work. Each text will be assigned a number and distributed to the judges.
After the first round of readings the judges will assign three finalists. The winner of the Prize will receive a publishing contract in which the winning manuscript will be published as a chapbook. S/he will also receive 25 copies of the chapbook. The remaining finalists will have samples of their work published in an issue of Ambit: Journal of Poetry & Poetics. All applicants will receive a copy of the chapbook.
Please follow these guidelines when submitting an application:
1. Send 1 unpublished manuscript per entry. It must be between 20-50 pages in length of poetry and its derivatives.
2. Send a $10 fee per manuscript submitted. 100% of the cash goes to the pressing and publishing of the winning chapbooks. Editors and judges do not get kickbacks. Please send checks or money orders only, made out to Furniture Press.
3. Send manuscripts to Furniture Press Poetry Prize c/o Towson Arts Collective, 406 York Road, Towson, MD 21204.
We strongly encourage you to send us work - it's also a very good way to catch the attention of the editors who may want to publish your work in the future, despite if or not you win the prize.

Poetry in Translation
October 12th and 13th, there'll be a miniature festival of literary translation at Gallery 1412 - foregrounding the translators themselves, the surprises and evils of the practice, the conversation between the worlds here at play - nearly everyone represented in the festival is a poet-translator, though there are many further surprises as well
Both nights start at 7PM, and are free (though donation is encouraged). There'll be snacks throughout and a discussion after the readings. And doubtless lots of beautiful books as a two of the translators are also small press editors/printmakers/those-that-make-books-by-hand.
Sunday:
