Lanterns of Hope * فوانيس الامل * چراکانی هیوا
A Youth Poetry Project
We welcome poems from youth ages 16-23 in Arabic, Kurdish, and English that reflect in some way on life in modern-day Iraq, potentially dealing with themes like reconciliation and forgiveness. A selection of poetry will be made by a group of prominent Iraqi writers on the basis of quality, concrete expressiveness, originality, and diversity.
Selected poets will have their poems translated and published in Arabic, Kurdish, and English in both a digital e-book and a hard copy version.
This project is sponsored by the Baghdad City of Literature Steering Committee in collaboration with the Iraqi House of Poetry, the Union of Iraqi Writers, the Iraq Literary Review, and the University of Iowa’s International Writing Program.
DEADLINE EXTENDED! New deadline for submission: July 15, 2015
Decisions will be made, at the latest, by the end of August.
For more information in Arabic and Kurdish, please go to http://iwp.uiowa.edu/programs/lanterns-of-hope.
