Orcas Center Showcase Seeks Orcas Poets
In celebration of National Poetry Month, the 3rd annual Spotlight on Local Poets on April 10 will feature an evening of poetry by Orcas Island poets. Interested poets are invited to submit their work to be considered for this juried presentation.
Selected poets will have the opportunity to share their original poems in a 5-minute reading. All interested writers are invited to submit poems to JoEllen Moldoff who will select 12-15 poets to read. Moldoff, who will also coordinate and host the reading, will look for a variety of writing styles and subject matter to create a provocative and enjoyable evening of poetry.
Three to five poems totaling no more than five single-spaced pages, should be emailed to moldoff@rockisland.com by February 25th, along with the poet’s name, phone number, email and mailing address. If you have any questions, email or call JoEllen at 376-7680.
The showcase will be in Orcas Center’s OffCenter Stage at 7:30 pm on Saturday, April 10. Tickets are $13 and $9 for students and may be purchased at the Orcas Center box office Thursday-Saturday, noon – 4 pm, or visit www.orcascenter.org
