International Contemporary Writing
To celebrate the launch of our special issue ‘Refuge’, Wasafiri will be hosting an evening long event at the Tate Modern. In a time of inflammatory headlines and damaging political rhetoric, this issue, guest edited by Bidisha, brings together a powerful roster of writers and artists to counter the populist narrative.
The competition is an international poetry competition, judged in 2017 by poet Joseph Horgan and writer Bidisha. The winning poems are available to read on Wasafiri.
Other judges of the prize this year include Sharmaine Lovegrove, the publisher of Dialogue Books, Kadija George, literary activist and founder of SABLE LitMag, and Winnie M Li, author and co-founder of Clear Lines Festival.
Wasafiri is now open for submissions of articles, essays and interviews. Please read the full details before submitting.
