It’s that time of the year, good people!
We are excited to announce that this year’s poetry contest will begin later this month and run through the end of the year.
This time, we will choose semi-finalists who will be highlighted on our social media. From those semi-finalists, we will choose three winners from the poets with the highest ratings by the judges.
It’s about to be a time!
The entry rules, guidelines, and list of prizes are now available on the website. (Remember, we have a website for the contests now!)
We are also doing something different: We are having the interview with the winners (semi-finalists and finalists) on Instagram Live! Words are too powerful to be limited to paper, especially when expressed in this medium. To quote Maya Angelou, Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with deeper meaning.”
So that is what we will do!
I got my Sidney Shaw voice ready to ask, “When did you first fall in love with poetry?”
