This annual contest challenges you to write an original poem in 48 hours — with only one catch. The final poem must include ten words that CV2 will provide. These words are released at midnight CDT on Friday April 7th, 2017, leaving you 48 hours to use each of them at least once in an original poetry composition. Prizes include cash, publication, and a copy of the issue containing the winners, not to mention a whole weekend of wordy entertainment.
