Contemporary Verse 2 (CV2) is a well respected literary journal out of Winnipeg, MN Canada.

(I was actually quite shocked that they were not listed here...perhaps due to being out of Canada?)


For my first time submitting to this journal (for their annual Foster Poetry Prize), I received the following rejection message on Submittable:


Mon, Jan 22, 2024 1:32 PM From: Contemporary Verse 2 To: --------------------- Subject: CV2 Foster Poetry Prize


Dear poet,

Thank you very much for submitting to the Foster Poetry Prize. The winners for the contest have been decided, and we're sorry to let you know that your work was not selected as one of the prize winners this year.

The selection process was very difficult this year, as the calibre of the work submitted was truly exceptional. We're incredibly grateful to you for sharing your work with us, and we hope you'll submit to the contest again next year.

With gratitude,

The CV2 team
