The Central Avenue Poetry Prize 2025

Imagine having access to the finest debut poetry from a diverse array of emerging poets, all conveniently compiled in a single volume. The second instalment of The Central Avenue Poetry Prize maintains the exceptional standard set by its inaugural edition. This second volume of The Central Avenue Poetry Prize offers a collection of depth and breadth from poets worldwide and of various backgrounds. Readers will find a tapestry of emotions-heartache, longing, laughter, and the essence of life itself-each poem capturing human creativity and experience. From anecdotes to reflections, from tales of beauty to moments of raw truth, this collection serves as both a tribute to the art form and a poignant reminder that writing is an extension of living-an act of expression that allows us to reveal ourselves and connect with others.
