Are you on Twitter and do you live in the European Union? Tweet to us at @poetry_int telling us why poetry plays a vital role in your life and you could win a free copy of Todd Boss’s new collection Pitch. Because we could all use more poetry in our lives.
Poetry International teams up with W.W. Norton in the UK (@nortonbooks_uk) to offer you the chance to win one of six free copies of Pitch, a new poetry collection by Todd Boss:
“With poems about loss, home, marriage and the inner music of our lives, Pitch is a series of variations on an overturned piano. By turns bright and dark like the keys on a keyboard, these poems demonstrate the range of one of contemporary poetry’s most musical poets, a master of internal rhyme.”
( W.W. Norton)
 
Contest terms and conditions:
1. Tweet to us why you need poetry with words, photos, video, podcasts, or anything else you can think of.
2. Enter as many times as you like.
3. Include @poetry_int and #needpoetry in your tweet so we can see all your entries.
4. If you’re selected as a winner, send us your mailing address so we can post you a copy of Todd Boss's Pitch. Due to copyright restrictions, W.W. Norton (UK) can only ship to addresses in the UK and continental EU.

The contest will close on Tuesday, 10 September at noon (Dutch time, GMT+1), and shortly after we will announce the six winners on our Twitter feed. You can download a sample selection of the poems in Pitch here.
