Fledge Poetry Chapbook Award A project of Middle Creek Publishing (see other related projects). This listing may be deactivated on: 15 Sep 2026. Learn about this process. About The Fledge Chapbook Contest seeks to award poets who are yet unpublished or who have published no more than one full length book of poetry (chapbooks excluded) with the publication of a chapbook of their work. Our intention is as much to increase the poets readership as it is to add another feather to their developing wings and flight skills.We seek to promote a body of work which reflects any sphere of what we consider Human Ecology, the human experience of living, celebrating and even struggling with life and nature. This may include everything from our built habitats the nature of the self or ontology, poems which express or seek understanding of one's place or participation in the world at large especially concerning natural elements and living systems, as well as our found and built environments of urbanity, culture, and relationship, history, society.
