The Writer’s Guild of Astoria, Oregon is seeking poetry entries from residents of Clatsop, Pacific, Tillamook, and Wahkiakum Counties for a contest in connection with Jericho Brown’s visit to our community. Deadline for entries is October 1, 2021. Poets are invited to respond to the theme of “Tradition,” inspired by Jericho Brown’s The Tradition (Copper Canyon Press; 2019), winner of the 2020 Pulitzer Prize in Poetry. Submit up to three poems as a single .doc, .docx, or .pdf attachment to info@thewritersguild.org. The Writer’s Guild Board of Directors will judge the entries in the competition categories of Middle School, High School, and College/Community. The following information should appear in the header of each entry: poet’s name, competition category, home address, email address, and phone number. Entries without all information will be disqualified.
