Encore National Federation of State Poetry Soci

Encore Prize Poems is a collection of the top award-winning poems from the 2020 National Federation of State Poetry Societies annual contests. These poems were chosen from more than 6,500 submissions by poets across the nation and from Canada, the United Kingdom and Spain. The anthology's wide variety includes visually unique shape poems; well-structured forms like pantoum, villanelle, and sonnet; and the short forms of 3-line haiku, 13-line trimeric, 60-syllable minute poems. Diverse viewpoints bring fresh, personal interpretations to such wide-ranging subjects as wolves and hometown heroes, women's power and environmental issues, books and borders. Encore 2020 adds a new feature for students winning in categories of elementary-, middle- and high-school. NFSPS invites you to explore cover-to-cover, finding the unique passion, insight and inspiration of many voices on many subjects.
