“This contest is the chance of a lifetime for a poet. What you win is more than simply publication of your work. You win the chance to give your words their best, most beautiful home. I’m a bookseller as well as a poet, and it was my dream to publish a book that I would be proud to stock in my store — a book that was as satisfying an object to hold in my hands as the poems inside were satisfying to write. Raven Chapbooks fulfilled that dream.“
