Poetry Call for PoemCity 2025!

Poets, of all ages: Do you have a new poem you’d love to share?

All Vermont residents, including students, are invited to submit one previously unpublished poem to the 2025 PoemCity community event! Selected poems will be displayed in storefront windows throughout downtown Montpelier in April 2025 in celebration of National Poetry Month, and will be published in the anthology.

The deadline to submit is Feb. 1, 2025. All poems must be original work and no more than 24 lines. To see the complete list of rules and to submit, visit the library program page. Questions? Email poemcity@kellogghubbard.org or call (802) 223-3338.

PoemCity is presented by the Kellogg-Hubbard Library with generous support from Vermont Humanities. As in previous years, Rootstock Publishing is proud to publish a collection of PoemCity works in an anthology. See the 2024 edition here!
