Poets Under 40

The Poetry Center at Passaic County Community College has a call for submissions open for an anthology to celebrate the work of regional poets under 40.

Poems can be submitted by those 18 to 39 years of age who live in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. Each contributor will receive one copy of the anthology.

A maximum of two poems per person will be considered (only one copy needed). Only unpublished poems.  Include contact information (name, address, phone number, and email) on the top of each poem. Each poem should be no more than two pages, single spaced. Poems will not be returned, so do not send originals.

All poets, whose work is accepted, will be required to read his or her poem from the anthology on November 8, 2014 at 1 p.m. at the historic Hamilton Club Building in downtown Paterson, New Jersey. 

Deadline: June 15, 2014
