After a successful round of tweets for our 2018 Poetry Prize #IRSpring Twitter contest, Indiana Review is happy to announce the winner and runner-up. While we received so many wonderful haikus, these two kept the spirit of spring alive for us as it seems we’re going through a second winter here in Indiana.

Congratulations to our winner, @a_taiyib, who will receive free entry into our 2018 Poetry Prize as well as an IR prize pack!

And a big round of applause for our runner-up, @matadorthefirst, a previous Twitter contest winner who will be receiving an IR prize pack!

As always, we love reading your tweets and your writing. It’s a pleasure to work with all of you and we thank you for participating. Hopefully the spring weather will come soon for us and we wish all a wonderful season. Remember to keep an eye out for our future Twitter contests and submit to our 2018 Poetry Prize by March 31st at 11:59pm EST!
