Are you interested in having your poetry published in an anthology? Have you written poetry, or are you interested in writing poetry, that reflects the spirit of the city of Davis?
Submit your poetry to the Davis Poetry Book Project, a project sponsored by our very own Davis Poet Laureate, Allegra Silberstein!
The Davis Poetry Book Project
The Davis Poetry Book Project aims to create an anthology of poetry about the city of Davis, written by current and past members of the Davis community. These poems will celebrate, or perhaps quarrel with, this place where we live now. The poetic discussion of the history and people of Davis is intended to allow the citizens of Davis a more meaningful interaction with their city, and for students and others growing up in Davis, this book will allow them to gain a deeper understanding of Davis. The project is based entirely in Davis: the 60-page anthology will be printed at a local printer, sold at local businesses, and performed at local poetry venues.

Submission Guidelines
This contest is open to all who have a connection to Davis, whether or not you are currently living here. We are especially interested in poems that touch on the history or historical figures of Davis, but feel free to write about any aspect of life in Davis. Winners will have their work published and receive a complimentary copy of the anthology.
Each submitter may submit up to 3 poems. The deadline is August 15, 2011. There is no entry fee!
