HARMONY: a creative brief
Poets from around the world are invited to submit a
single previously unpublished poem of a prescribed length in response
to the word “Harmony” by March 2014. A selected panel will draw up a
shortlist of poems, from which a winner will
be chosen.
The winning poem will be performed at the opening
night of the International Glass Exhibition at Swansea Waterfront Museum
in July 2014. An award of £2000 will go to the winner and a copy of the
poem will be displayed for the next year
at the Dylan Thomas Centre. Short listed poems will be invited for
inclusion in a subsequent publication celebrating the international
award among others.
It is anticipated that the winning poet will be
invited to be commissioned by the University for a combined piece of
work with the winner of the International Dylan Thomas Glass award, as
an on-going tribute to Dylan Thomas.

University can be found at:
