 Highland Park Poetry invites poets of all ages to submit poems that respond to one of three possible challenges. This year's unique challenges are:

• Advice - Good or Bad
• Mystery (honoring the 200th birthday of Wilkie Collins, author of The Moonstone and The Woman in White, considered the father of the modern detective novel) - poems do not have to focus on Collins or his work but address the theme.
• Prime 53 - this is a new poetic form created by editors of Press 53. Poems may be written on any subject using this form.

It is free to submit one poem. This means everyone may participate. Please visit the website for submission guidelines, entry form, and instructions for writing Prime 53 poems.

The deadline is Monday, January 29, 2024.

If you are unfamiliar with Highland Park Poetry, please visit our website - www.HighlandParkPoetry.org or check out our Facebook page.

Many thanks & Happy New Year!
