Call for Submissions: The Mayor's Poetry Program at Boston City Hall

Along with its rich literary history, Boston is also home to many talented contemporary writers. In honor of the diverse and creative village we call Boston, the Mayor’s Office of Arts & Culture will display selected poems on the walls of city hall. Poets who reside or work in Boston are invited to send in work to help celebrate the city through poetry and to remind people of what a culturally exciting city Boston is to live and work in.
A public reading hosted by Boston's Poet Laureate Danielle Legros Georges will take place to highlight the selected poems the last week in April. 
This year’s theme is Boston's Diverse Neighborhoods.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: April 14, 2018

Selection Process:
Poet and Professor Kathi Aguero will select 18 poems based on strength of content and style.

Please submit the following in one document:
  • Up to 3 poems (each poem 200 words or fewer) 
  • A brief bio (no longer than a paragraph)
