Thank you, and we look forward to reviewing your work!
PoemCity is accepting submissions for cover artwork for our PoemCity 2024 Anthology. It is free to submit. Ideally, the artwork would be inspired by a PoemCity poem but any artwork will be considered. Submission window will close on January 1, 2024 and we will notify the chosen artist. Questions? Email msinger@kellogghubbard.org
Please use this form to submit poetry events for inclusion in the PoemCity Community Calendar. We are happy to collaborate in spreading the word in our PoemCity program, our Facebook page, and on our website. We will not be submitting events to local news outlets/calendars. Our goal is to support programs that are community-inspired. We hope this leads to more diversity of reading and engagement.
To use the Kellogg-Hubbard Library for your PoemCity event, please contact Michelle Singer at msinger@kellogghubbard.org.
Once you have secured your reading location (at the library or elsewhere) and know the date, time, and participants, please use this form to let us know your plans. We will lift this information directly from these forms and so please double check that it is correct. The library reserves the right to decline to include events on our PoemCity Community Calendar.
We will accept submissions to the PoemCity Community Calendar until March 1, 2024 for inclusion in the printed program. After that, we can add events until March 31, 2023 for listing on our website only. We will not take Community Calendar submissions after March 31, 2023.
Organizers are responsible for hosting and advertising their own events. The library will direct questions about your event to the contact person listed in this form.
If you have any other questions, contact Michelle Singer at msinger@kellogghubbard.org.
