Past Contests
Very First untethered Poetry Contest (Summer 2015)
FIRST PLACE $200 Grand Prize: “Jared and Luann Part 2” by Sara-Jane Gloutnez
“I like the flow of the sensual/sensuous imagery and the evocation of a magic-realist world that is more organic than imaginary.”
FIRST RUNNER-UP: “Oh, Just Browsing” by Trevor Abes
“This poem combines satirical sass with a pretty realistic depiction of a hospital gift-shop, and the ending is superb.”
SECOND RUNNER-UP: “From Detroit” by JM Francheteau
“This poem has rich, urban imagery to die for. It’s spellbinding in its Gothic mood.”
