Calling All Vashon Poets!!!!!
From Devon Atkins, Vashon Bookshop Publicist:

Vashon Bookshop, with the courtesy of Vashon Allied Arts, is currently accepting submissions of original poetry to be juried by three Island poets for a community event entitled POETS WAGING PEACE, to be held at The Blue Heron Art Center, Thursday, June 12th at 7:30 p.m.This event is inspired by the international effort, POETS AGAINST THE WAR which was initiated by Sam Hamill, founding editor of Copper Canyon Press, the much-respected Pt. Townsend publishing house.

Hamill’s request that poets everywhere submit poems of protest, resulted in more than 15,000 submissions to The White House and thousands of poetry readings around the world. (Poems can be read online at (www.poetsagainstthewar.org) In an attempt to continue this effort and to encourage Island poets to support global consciousness, Vashon Bookshop is sponsoring this June event. Vashon poets are asked to submit a maximum of three original poems concerning peace, social consciousness, or humanism. Poems can be dropped off at the Bookshop or emailed to bookshop@foxinternet.com.

The deadline for submissions is June 5th. The judging will be “blind” and selected poets will be notified by June 9th. Poems will not be returned and selected poems will be kept in-hand for reading by the poets at the June event. For more information, refer to Vashon Community Calendar (www.vashoncalendar.org), call 463-2616, or drop by Vashon Bookshop.
