We’re feeling inspired and invigorated after Abby E. Murray’s visit to Nebraska. Thank you to everyone who attended a reading, book signing or the writing workshop. Abby and Julie Paschold, a Nebraska poet, pictured here read and answered questions at The Bookworm in Omaha.
Abby’s collection “Recovery Commands” was the 2024 winner of our Richard-Gabriel Rummonds Poetry Prize, an annual poetry book contest established in 2016 to foster the publication of excellent poetry in elegantly designed books.
Submissions for the 2025 contest are open through Monday, September 15.
Unlike many poetry contests, ours is open to poets at any stage of their career. Many of the entrants already have books in print as well as publication in journals and literary presses.
The author of the prize-winning book receives $2,000, 10 copies of their book and an author discount on additional copies.
