Just published: Reflections of Light on Water by 🌊
A finalist for this year’s International Metatron Poetry Prize.

Howey’s work traces moments of intimacy, illness, family, and care—with a softness that resists clarity and a voice that listens closely to the unsaid. It’s a quiet and luminous text, alive with questions and held silences.

We’re currently featuring the 8 shortlisted writers, each reshaping the contours of contemporary poetry in distinct and surprising ways. One will be selected by to join our catalogue next month.

Shams Hanieh is a Palestinian-Algerian writer and researcher. Her creative writing encompasses poetry and experimental prose exploring the surreality of Palestinianness and womanhood, while her wider writing and research interests include sexual and reproductive health, Arabic hip-hop, and alternative geographies.

ÖMËGÄ (2014-present) is a living, online archive project that is devoted to digitizing and celebrating contemporary poems and poets. In 2025 we re-launched this project as Nueva ÖMËGÄ. Nueva Omega is the last beginning, the first ending—a threshold where language cycles through its final breath and emerges new. In numerology, Omega vibrates with the number 9: the culmination, the wisdom before the leap, the spiral that folds into itself. Nueva, a word of rebirth, turns the last letter into a portal, where poetry, prophecy, and possibility converge. This is a space for endings that regenerate, for words that know their ghosts and still press forward. A digital fugue, a liturgy of the liminal. Welcome to the infinite last page.

Of these 22 manuscripts, 8 will advance to our Shortlist and be read by guest judge ! Only 1 will take home the Prize and have their work published with us in 2026. In the meantime, please join us in congratulating these rising stars!

The Metatron Poetry Prize has always been a means for us to utilize our platform to shine light on new voices, and it continues to be an honour to be witness to the rise of new voices, ideas and perspectives that weave their way into contemporary writing.

A special thanks to poetry guardians .obscura and Ali Pinkney who volunteered their time and lent their insight to help carve out this list ✨
