Last chance. The LemonLight Prize closes Sunday

$3,000 prize fund. Shortlisted poets considered for our 2027 list.

The LemonLight Prize closes this Sunday, June 1.

$15 to enter. $3,000 in prizes. Judged by Leila Chatti.

This is what we make. The fine art edition of Sesquipedalian Rain Chant — hand-bound in crimson with gold tooling, housed in a clamshell — is one of three copies in existence.

Every book we publish is made to this standard of care.

Shortlisted and highly commended poets from the LemonLight Prize will be considered for our 2027 publishing list.

Sunday May 31st is the last day.
