2026 Poetry Celebration submissions will be accepted from March 1st to April 1st. Follow along on Facebook for a month of poetry prompts inspired by US Poet Laureate Arthur Sze's interest in "poetry in translation".
The Poetry Celebration is open to residents of Franklin and Somerset Counties, Livermore, and Livermore Falls. All submissions will be published in an anthology. Published poets will be honored at a Community Poetry Reading on May 6th.
There are four submission categories:
Youth age 11 and under
Youth age 12-17
Adult 18+
Literacy Volunteers Students.
This year’s Poetry Celebration also includes Poetry Bingo; completed cards can be entered into a drawing for prizes at the May reading.
