tOrcas Center seeks writers for showcase
In celebration of National Poetry Month, the second annual Local Poets Showcase on Saturday, April 11 will feature an evening of poetry by Orcas Island poets. Interested poets are invited to submit their work to be considered for this juried presentation.
Selected poets will have the opportunity to share their original poems in a three- to five-minute reading. All interested writers are invited to submit poems to JoEllen Moldoff who will select 15 to 20 poets to read. Moldoff, who will also coordinate and host the reading, will look for a variety of writing styles and subject matter to create an enjoyable evening of poetry.
Three to five poems totaling no more than five single-spaced pages should be emailed to moldoff@rockisland.com by Feb. 25, along with the poet’s name, phone number, email and mailing address. Email or call JoEllen at 376-7680 with questions.
The showcase will be in Orcas Center’s OffCenter Stage at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 11. Tickets are $10 and may be purchased at the Orcas Center box office Thursday-Saturday, noon to 4 p.m., or visit www.orcascenter.org.
