At long last: the shortlist for the 2022 Chapbook Open is here! Guest judge Kim Fu will be selecting the winning chapbook from these final eight, which The Masters Review will publish next spring. We’ve read a number of incredible chapbooks over the last 5 months, and we are so grateful to all of our submitters.

Congratulations to our shortlisted and notable chapbooks, and thank you once again to all of our submitters. Check back next month for the results!
