Submissions<\/strong><\/h4>\n

We welcome submissions year-round responding to works in the Metropolitan Museum of Art\u2019s <\/strong>permanent collection<\/strong><\/a> and select past special exhibits – all areas, including painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, costume, musical instruments, and the Met building itself. All styles are welcome from poets around the world.<\/p>\n

We are now able to pay $10 per poem.<\/p>\n

Please send up to three poems with a note about the work they reference to metphrastics@gmail.com<\/a>. Please include a 2-3 line 3rd person bio.<\/p>\n

Please note: <\/strong>we get a number of submissions about works in other museums, and we get many that are simply not ekphrastic poems. Only ekphrastic poems about artwork at the Met will be considered. Please note the piece(s) in your cover letter. Thank you!<\/p>\n
