Emeryville Wants Your Poetry (via EastBayExpress)

Bay area poets!

Calling all Billy Shakespeares! The City of Emeryville seeks your best villanelle, sonnet, haiku, free verse, or any other kind of poetry you deign to write (as long as it doesn’t exceed fifteen lines) for its new contest, Poems on the Emery Go-Round.

The Poet Laureate program of Emeryville (which is a thing that exists!) and the Emeryville Transit Management Authority (ETMA) are looking for poems that “surprise, delight, and inspire” on any topic or theme, and anyone who lives within the nine counties of the Bay Area (Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, and Sonoma) is eligible to enter.
