Go Long! Win a Collection of Incredible Long Poem Collections from Brick Books

Short may be sweet, but long can be even better - and the long poem is one of the toughest, most moving, most powerful forms out there. So we're especially excited to bring you a barnburner of a giveaway courtesy of the terrific folks at Brick Books, featuring a staggering TEN long poem collections for one lucky winner. 

These are ten long poem collections that, as Brick Books co-founder Stan Dragland explained, have "some sort of overall unity, sometimes narrative, sometimes something else." Discover the pleasure of the long poem (and perhaps the mysterious something else too!) by entering to win.

• Abraham by Colin Browne
• The Banquet of Donny & Ari: Scenes from the Opera by Naomi Guttman
• Introduction to the Introduction to Wang Wei by Pain Not Bread
