Among poets, there is a great tradition of composing verses based on works of art. During National Poetry Month, we invite Nathan Hale students to set their minds to this challenge, extending the idea to poetry about literature, too. Through May 15th, the Nathan Hale Library will be accepting submissions for our Spring Poetry Competition. The competition will conclude with a poetry slam in the library and the announcement of two prize-winning poems, one chosen by judges and the other selected randomly. The winning poems will be read on the air at C89.5, Nathan Hale’s own radio station.

Instructions and submissions forms are available in the library and also on this website (doc) & (pdf).
