Fuego - The World Congress of Poets Literary Journal
 

The World Congress of Poets are delighted to announce that they will start several new initiatives in 2023. One of these new projects is a literary journal produced by our Executive Board. The goal of this new literary journal is to provide more opportunities for our members to publish their work, and to also improve the quality of writing by our members.

 
Fuego will become an annual publication that will strive to showcase poetry from featured countries, including poetry by children, youth, and adults. The spotlight for this inaugural edition will be to feature Waimakariri, New Zealand, and is
funded by Waimakariri Creative Communities. The Editor in Chief for Fuego Volume 1 is Doc Drumheller.

The deadline for the inaugural issue of Fuego is 1st July 2023
