In celebration of its milestone 10th anniversary, Haverhill River Bards invite Merrimack Valley poets of all levels to submit their best unpublished poetry for consideration in the upcoming Decennial Anthology.
For the past decade, the River Bards have brought together poets, writers and spoken-word artists through its long-running poetry series. Held twice a year, these monthly events featured readings by 40 featured poets followed by an open mic with scores of readers, enabling writers of all backgrounds to share their voices.
Submissions are due Jan. 15 with writers notified of their acceptances in late March and publishing of the anthology in April. Priority is being given to poets who have read at a River Bards Poetry Night at any point in any capacity over the last 10 years. Submission guidelines and information can be found on the submission form available at CreativeHaverhill.org.
