[Michlib-l] Call for Poetry

[Betsy Myers]

There are just 20 days left to enter Poets' Night Out 2023!  Do you or do
you know someone who lives in, owns property in, or attends school in
Alcona, Antrim, Benzie, Charlevoix, Cheboygan, Emmet, Grand Traverse,
Kalkaska, Leelanau, Manistee, Missaukee, Montmorency, Oscoda, Otsego,
Presque Isle, or Wexford counties AND loves to write poetry?  If so, submit
entries by the 25th of January either dropped off at the Traverse Area
District Library (main library) OR postmarked by that date.  There
are specific submission instructions for seniors, students and everyone
else which can be found at tadl.org/pno.  There are even submissions for
classrooms--so if you know a teacher who may be interested in submitting
class poems--send this info their way.

Poets’ Night Out is an annual juried poetry contest and poetry reading
event. Winners will have their poems printed in an annual chapbook as well
as being asked to read their poems at an evening event on Sunday April 23,
2023 at 7:00pm.  This is a fun, relaxed, no pressure event where everyone
just loves poetry and wants to celebrate and bask in the ambience of
beautiful words.

Help spread the word!  We want to break submission records this year!
Attached is a poster of the event if libraries would like to post. (tyia)

I just finished The Whittiers by Danielle Steel.  It was a nice, sweet, all
about family read. I also just listened to the latest by Phillip Margolin,
Murder at Black Oaks and was pleasantly surprised my favorite narrator
Therese Plummer read it! Highly recommend.
