James Alexander MacDonald Poetry Book Award

Mr. MacDonald was an avid lover of books, writing and poetry. With a BA and MA in English from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland he traveled to Canada and finally settled in the United States in the late '50s. His life cut short at age 49 from complications with rheumatoid arthritis, he left behind a novel based loosely on the amputation of his right foot, short stories and poetry, such as the one written here for his wife.

Tip for reading the poem if it is too small on your screen. Hold down your Ctrl key while moving the wheel on your mouse to make the font larger or smaller.

Guidelines

Until further notice, our James Alexander MacDonald Poetry Book Award will be offered periodically instead of annually with no reading fee.

We offer the publication of a previously unpublished manuscript of poetry in English and author copies for those selected.

Send 50-70 pages typed, single-spaced on one side of the page only, on white 8 1/2" X 11" paper. Please do not send your only copy, as manuscripts cannot be returned.

Include a title page with your name, current address, telephone number or email address. Also include a short bio and an acknowledgements page.
