Arts & Letters PRIME

We’re proud to announce that PRIME 2.1 was launched on December 1st. Congratulations to our second PRIME Poetry Prize winner Jerry Mirskin and runner-up Kevin Stein, whose poems are featured in this edition. Thanks to distinguished poet Alice Friman for selecting these poets’ works from among all those who submitted to the competition.

This issue also features works by photographer Mackenzie Burgess, a one-act play by Terence Patrick Hughes, and literary works by Sean Prentiss, Jesse DeLong, and Eric Nelson.

PRIME is currently available for iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. Its ePub format allows us to offer audio and video content that most eBooks do not, as well as brilliant graphic material and links to related web sites. Most PRIME content features contributors reading from or discussing their work.

PRIME is available for free with a subscription to Arts & Letters or for those who submit their work through Submittable to either publication.
