On March 25th from 2 to 4:30 p.m. members of the North Florida Poetry Hub A Gathering of Poets and Women Writing For (a) Change come together for an early celebration of National Poetry Month with poetry readings and author signings at the Southeast Regional Library in Jacksonville at the second annual First Coast Poetry Showcase.
A presentation of awards to the winners of the second annual First Coast Young Voices High School Poetry Contest judged from entries by students of Duval and St Johns County High Schools and the award-winning students will read their poems.
Well-known children’s book author poet and event participant Shutta Crum comments "When I moved to Northeast Florida I was in search of fellow poets. And wow did I find them! Poetry in the Jacksonville and Ponte Vedra area is alive and thriving. I'm looking forward to the showcase to hear some great poetry from "old hands" and from the young and upcoming poets of our First Coast Young Voices Poetry Contest.
Author book signings to follow the awards presentations and readings. Refreshments will be served. This event is free and open to the public. Please come join us in this early celebration of National Poetry Month!
