Poetry Virginia Review: Annual Contest Winners, 2016: Poetry Society Of Virginia Contest Poems, 2016

This maiden issue of the Poetry Virginia Review showcases the first place poems from the Poetry Society of Virginia's 2016 annual contests, and adds a poem each by 22 of the 26 poets who served as judges. Most of the writers append brief commentaries on their poems, and many of the judges add comments on the judging process. Also featured, for comparison's sake, are a trio of first place poems from the 1956 edition of the contest, as well as a few other archival pieces, such as a pair of poems from writers in whose honor the contests were established, and a 1932 letter to one of them from Alice B. Toklas.
