For 29 years, Lilith magazine has been one of the rare publications to feature poetry alongside its investigative reports, scholarship, memoirs and fiction. This first-ever poetry prize at Lilith is named for a woman who has been a longtime supporter of the arts in Chicago and on the national scene. "LILITH'S commitment to publishing poetry is an essential dimension of the magazine's creativity, and shows a recognition that poetry by Jewish women, on Jewish themes, is a burgeoning aspect of American-and Jewish--culture," said poet Alicia Ostriker. "Lilith is uniquely wonderful as a source for Jewish girls and women of all ages."
