Plein Air Poetry at Fruitlands

Fruitlands Museum, in partnership with the Concord Poetry Center, invite poets to come seek inspiration in a landscape rich in natural and human history. Fruitlands is soliciting original poems written about and on the museum grounds during fall and winter 2011-2012. Anything that can be seen or experienced on the 210-acre property from outside the museum buildings is an appropriate subject.

Ten to fifteen poems will be selected by a jury of poets and museum staff. Poets whose poems are selected will be invited to share their work at a Plein Air Poetry Celebration at Fruitlands on the afternoon of Sunday, May 6. Selected poems may also be compiled in a chapbook and/or audio recorded.

Submissions for the Fruitlands Plein Air Poetry is now closed.
