FAVORITE POEM COMMUNITY READING
SUNDAY, APRIL 15, 2:00 PM
SEBASTOPOL CENTER FOR THE ARTS

In celebration of National Poetry Month, the Sebastopol Center for the Arts will host a Favorite Poem Community Reading. Modeled on the readings initiated by former U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky, this event will bring together a wide range of people and poems into one memorable event. 

You are invited to submit a copy of your single favorite poem, famous or otherwise, one that is not written by you, a friend or relative, but one that you have read, perhaps many times, and to which you feel a personal attachment, along with a brief statement about the poem’s significance in your life. The poem and introductory statement should take no more than 3 minutes.

Please send an email to Jodi Hottel at hottel at sonic.net <mailto:hottel at sonic.net>. Include the subject “Favorite Poem Reading” in the subject heading. Send your name, phone # and email address, and submit your selection in either Word or a web link. Be sure to include the name of the author of the poem. There is no entry fee, but entries should be received no later than March 25. 

This is our 15th annual event. Jodi Hottel will be the coordinator and emcee this year, following Larry Robinson’s masterful hosting for many years. The event is free, and refreshments will be served. Whether you submit a poem to share or not, we invite you to come to what is sure to be a wonderful celebration of the community’s love of language.
