Forward’s poetry contest – Feb. 14 deadline
Fyi…
It has been brought to my attention that New York’s Jewish Daily Forward newspaper is hosting a poetry competition pegged on the 1911 Triangle Waist Company Factory Fire – which killed 146 workers, most of them immigrant women – and its legacy. Two poets will win $500 each, for an original poem in English or in Yiddish. The application deadline is Feb. 14. Entrants must be 18 or older, and legal residents of the U.S.
Here is a longer explanation about the competition, from Tablet Magazine.
