Call for Submissions

Do you have a favorite poem that has touched you or has affected your life deeply, one you would like to share with the community?

The Poet Laureate Committee of Ukiah invites you to submit your all-time favorite poem. Fifteen poems will be selected from these entries. If your poem is chosen, you will be invited to participate in a public reading to be held on Friday, October 15, 2010.

The poem must be by an author other than yourself, your friends, or relatives. It should be a poem you have read, perhaps many times, and to which you feel a personal attachment. While there are no length requirements, very short or very long poems are not likely to be selected
