The Award for New Poets — Winners!

Congratulations to the winners of Frontier Poetry’s Award for New Poets and an enormous thanks to everyone who submitted. We saw an incredible number of submissions and the quality of writing was extraordinary. Thank you, also, for your patience while we reviewed the work. A BIG round of applause to the following three poets, whose work we will publish on Frontier Poetry and have earned the respect and recognition of the 2017 Pulitzer Prize winner, Tyehimba Jess.
