Dear Poets,
This is a call for
poems about the Delaware and Raritan Canal.
Have you walked on
the towpath, paddled the canal, messed around on the banks? If the D&R
is “your” canal, have you written a poem about it?
We are collecting
canal poems for a book in honor of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the
Delaware and Raritan State Park. (And yes, the canal opened for business in
1834 so this will really be the 190th anniversary – certainly worthy of
celebration!)
So, send us your
D&R poems—published or unpublished—by October 15, 2023.
Send by email to penelopeschott@comcast.net. Please include your full name, address, phone number,
and a brief comment about your personal relationship to the D&R Canal.
We can’t promise
to use every poem we receive, and we can’t pay our poets, but we will be
thrilled to make sure that if you submit a canal poem you will receive your
own copy of the forthcoming book.
Thanks for helping
to celebrate our canal!
