Special Event: "Poetry Marketplace"

Verse and Voice: A Festival of Poetry

Poets share their work, connect with other poets and readers, sell personalized copies of books, and share readings in a vibrant forum devoted to the celebration of recently published poetry.

The Poetry Marketplace brings together poets and the community around a shared love of published poetry.

Poetry readers may discover new voices, talk with poets about their craft and their journey toward publication, purchase personalized copies of books, or simply enjoy readings from the artists' published work.

For poets, this event offers a chance to gain exposure, connect with fellow writers and readers, and showcase their work in the vibrant and welcoming space of the library. Each selected poet is provided with space to display, sell, and sign their books during the event.

Application Deadline

The deadline to apply is April 26, 2026. Applicants who submit by April 15 will be notified of their status during the week of April 20; applications will continue to be reviewed on a rolling basis until all spaces are filled. Apply at the link:
