Poetry

Marla Alupoaicei enjoys writing poetry and has won several awards for her work. 

Here’s a snippet from an interview with Anthony Snider, the winner of the 2006 Bridport Prize Competition:

 

“To steal a great line from Czeslaw Milosz: ‘I am a poet because I am always thinking

of something else,’” Snider says with a smile. “There is a back burner that is going all

the time, and if someone says something in a conversation that is an interesting turn

of phrase, or I hear somebody put something together that is interesting, I’ll write it

down and put it away in a little journal of snippets… Sometimes poems are

just begging to be written, everything flows through.”

 

 

In addition to being published in a variety of literary journals, Marla’s poems have been selected as the winners of several national and international competitions, including:

  • The Writer’s Digest 77th Annual Writing Competition (4th place, rhyming poetry category)
  • The Dorothy Sargent Rosenberg Poetry Competition (First Prize, 2006; Third Prize, 2007)
  • The Oberon Poetry Competition
  • The Georgetown Review Literary Competition - Writing on the Theme of Redemption
  • The Writer’s Digest Poetry Competition (First Prize)
  • The Writer’s Digest 75th and 76th Annual Writing Competition; and more!

 

Marla’s poems have appeared in a variety of literary journals and magazines, including:

  • Bibliophilos
  • Illya’s Honey
  • The Iconoclast
  • Toward the Light 
  • The Quill
  • A Different Griffin
  • 3.1.6.: A Journal of Christian Thinking
  • The Exponent
