ANNOUNCING THE HOST PUBLICATIONS CHAPBOOK PRIZE WINNERS & FINALISTS, 2022

First and foremost, we would love to thank everyone who trusted the Host Publications team with reading their work this Spring. Our editors dedicated so much time and consideration to make sure that each submission was read with the attention that it deserves. We are only able to select two manuscripts for publication each year, which makes our decision very challenging, but we are so proud to announce our 2022-2023 Chapbook Prize Winners, and our five finalists below.

Thank you for reading, we’re looking forward to another memorable year of publishing great poetry!
