Discovery/Boston Review Poetry Contest Winners’ Reading

Now in its sixth decade, the “Discovery” Poetry Contest is designed to attract large audiences to poets who have not yet published a book. For this sixth year, the 92Y Unterberg Poetry Center is proud to partner with Boston Review. Many winners of this contest have gone on to distinguished careers as poets, among them John Ashbery, Lucille Clifton, Nick Flynn, David St. John and Rosanna Warren. Three leading poets will serve as final judges: Juan Felipe Herrera, Eileen Myles and Bruce Smith. Timothy Donnelly and Gregory Pardlo will serve as preliminary judges. Click here to apply.
