Calling Local Poets

To commemorate National Poetry Month, April 2015, the Raritan Valley Federation of Libraries, of which Bernardsville Library is a member, will publish its third annual Poetry Month Celebration Anthology. Participating libraries include Bernardsville, Dunellen, Middlesex, New Brunswick and Raritan.

Local poets are invited to submit up to two poems to Bernardsville Library by Friday, March 13 in order to be considered for the anthology. For details on submitting poems, a Poetry Submission Form is available at the Library or can be downloaded from the library’s website, http://www.bernardsvillelibrary.org/poetry-celebration-2015.
  
Local poets whose work is chosen for the Anthology will also be invited to read their poem(s) at the library on Thursday, May 7 at 7:00 pm. An open mic will follow for members of the audience who wish to read their own poems to the assembled group.
