National Poetry Series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Poetry Series is an American literary awards program.
Every year since 1979 it has sponsored the publication of five books of poetry. Manuscripts are solicited through an annual open competition, judged and chosen by poets of national stature, and issued by various publishers.
Foetry has criticized the NPS for unfair practices, lack of transparency, and potential mail fraud. Editor Daniel Halpern has not responded to requests by Foetry to change guidelines.
