About the magazine

The League of Minnesota Poets, founded in 1934, is one of the oldest state poetry organizations in the United States. It emerged from a grassroots movement to support poets across Minnesota, fostering a community that values craft, mentorship, and public engagement with poetry. Its core mission is to promote the writing and reading of poetry through workshops, readings, and annual competitions, including the John C. Rezmerski Memorial Manuscript Competition. The League serves as a vital hub for poets at all stages, offering a platform for recognition and a network for professional development.

Poets should approach the League with an understanding of its regional focus and community spirit. For competitions like the Rezmerski Memorial Manuscript Competition, carefully review guidelines for eligibility, formatting, and deadlines. The League appreciates work that demonstrates a commitment to craft and often favors manuscripts with a clear, cohesive vision. Engage with the organization through readings and workshops to understand its aesthetic and build connections. While the League welcomes diverse voices, it prioritizes poets with a connection to Minnesota or the Upper Midwest.
