Poetry Downtown Submission Deadline

Poets: Call for Submissions

Poetry Downtown Rutland

April is National Poetry Month. The Paper Poet invites you to contribute to Poetry Downtown Rutland.

We are currently soliciting original poetry submissions from poets of all ages. No more than three poems should be submitted, each of them 30 lines or less. The deadline for submission is March 21, 2023 (World Poetry Day). Submit your information and up to 3 poems for inclusion in the Poetry Downtown Rutland 2023.

Poets will have their poem on display in a Rutland downtown business front window during National Poetry Month. Poems will be displayed from early April through the first week of May. The community is invited to celebrate by following the pop-up poetry path (maps will be available at Phoenix Books Rutland) to read the poems in the window displays.

*By sending your work to The Paper Poet for the project, Poetry Downtown Rutland, poets agree to the following: Poetry Downtown Rutland may use poems in display, in promotional materials, and in associated online, print, or other media. All other rights remain with the author. Poets will be credited for their work in all places their poems appear.

This event is sponsored by The Paper Poet and Phoenix Books Rutland.
