What is the World Poetry Publishing Prize Contest?
Imagine a substantial assembly of poets who one day ponder, “Why is it that we cannot achieve publication in a book like those produced by established poetry gatekeepers?” Upon further reflection, they realize there is no legitimate reason preventing them from doing so. This is the narrative of the World Poetry Collective, a poetry group that began with a small initial team and has now expanded to include thousands of poets collaboratively striving to support one another’s publishing aspirations. If you wish to be an early participant in the WPC journey, we invite you to join our current contest. The contest running from December 15th to 31st is now underway, and as a result, a new book publishing deal will be granted to the December poetry contest winner.
The World Poetry Publishing Prize Contest is not just your regular traditional poetry competition—it’s an innovative movement in the world of poetry. A beacon of opportunity for poets of all levels, this contest is designed to match poets with their readers, nurture talent, and make dreams of literary recognition a reality. Whether you’re an emerging poet finding your voice or an established writer seeking a broader audience, this contest provides a platform to showcase your creativity in a meaningful way.

Introducing Our Previous Winners, Currently Authoring Their Upcoming Publications.
September 2024 – Mallory Mahen
“Mallory Mahen’s Omphalos (or Navel of the World) is a masterstroke of poetic storytelling, weaving together mythological grandeur and psychological depth to confront humanity’s precarious relationship with the forces of nature.”
October 2024 – Grace Smith
“Grace Smith’s The Challenger Deep is a hauntingly evocative poem that uses the metaphor of a deep-sea descent to explore themes of isolation, transformation, and the human condition.”
November 2024 – Cody Watters
“Cody Watters’ A Journey Through the Storm is a poignant exploration of resilience, love, and the unbreakable bonds that form in life’s most turbulent moments.”
December 1st-7th, 2024 – Autumnus
“Autumnus’ I’m a Love Letter is a tender exploration of vulnerability and the ache of unfulfilled connection. The poet’s personification of a love letter as an emblem of hidden emotions creates a deeply relatable metaphor, reflecting the human desire to be seen, valued, and understood.”

We are pleased to announce the selection of the distinguished World Poet who will represent us in the year 2025.
Commendations on the Winning Poem by Matthew D. Albertson.
The Dào Poetica (诗之道) by Matthew D Albertson
The pen gives pause o’er page now blank
Its guiding hand without compass.
Ere thoughts can flow, soft muse of thanks,
Should poem unwrit find animus.
The void’s extraction takes its toll—
Fel imps begin to hiss and quip,
“Thine heart cannot assume this role,”
Yea, words remain upon tongue’s tip.
So steeped in doubt, th’ imposter deigns
Adorn that mask of writer thus:
Release the reins, see fit to feign.
If heart is lacked, choose heartlessness.
Sans ego, fears of replica,
There starts the dào poetica.
Deeper Analysis of The Dào Poetica (诗之道) by Matthew D. Albertson
Matthew D. Albertson’s The Dào Poetica is a meditational poem on the existential struggles of the creative process, drawing on philosophical undertones and the principles of the Dào (Tao) to illuminate the journey of a poet grappling with doubt, identity, and inspiration. The poem intertwines the act of writing with themes of surrender, humility, and transcendence, ultimately suggesting that true creativity lies in the abandonment of ego and attachment to self-perceived inadequacies.
