    About this ebook

    Poetry Diversified 2018 showcases the compiled experiences of the 2016-2017 Poetry Matters Literary Prize winners. The anthology is filled with language that bears the souls of forty poets with 40 different stories to tell. The title says it all; these poets represent diversities in age, gender, religion and every type of social category, which their various experiences represent. Each poet takes their readers through different emotional peaks and valleys, from sorrow and guilt to discovery, hope, and joy. Poetry Diversified will suit the tastes of anyone who is stirred by emerging poetic voices.

      Acknowledgments

      This edition of Poetry Diversified comes as we celebrate our eighteenth year of awarding literary prizes for emerging voices. We have so many people to thank for our continued success. First, there are the volunteers that judge. To my children; Jeska and Xavier Clark who have been judging since its beginning. They are now in their mid-twenties and keep their schedules open when the call to judge comes even now. To Pauline Findlay, Sharon Schroeder, Calvin Pennywell and Leah Smith.

      To Tulane University remote interns Rada Kuznetsova for her thoughtful introduction and painstaking effort to stay true to poet’s intentions while editing. Kayla Davis who worked on review with intent to learn as much about the process of putting an anthology together.

      To the teachers who encourage students to enter year after year like Jen Karetnick of Miami Arts Charter Schools. It has been a pleasure reading the thoughts of the future minds you shape.

      To Laura Macdonald, our newest team member, who came to the party late but asked the one question that kept this project and several others on track. While I could go on I will stop here because you, dear reader, want to get on with it. Enjoy.
