Marianne Taylor, Mount Vernon’s poet laureate, has removed the deadline for submissions in the local Favorite Poem Project. “We had such a great turnout at our reading event on April 6 that I want to encourage people who haven’t participated to submit their poems,” Taylor said.
She was referring to an event held on April 6 at Mount Vernon Creates! during which time about 20 local residents read their favorite (or a favorite) poem and talked about why that poem touched them.
If you’d like to submit your favorite poem and the reasons why you chose it, you can do it online.
