Calling All Poets:Â
The Field House Museum is excited to announce our inaugural Poetry in the Garden competition series, held in the museum’s garden in downtown St. Louis.Â
This competition aims to honor the legacy of 19th-century poet Eugene Field by inviting local poets to create their own works inspired by some of the themes he returned to again and again over the course of his career – love, food & drink, nature, and current events.Â
The first event, held on May 9, highlights love. We invite poets of all ages and skill levels to submit their original, unpublished love poems to info@fieldhousemuseum.org by April 19 at 11:59 pm. Please include your name, contact information, and a brief bio in the body of the email.
Three winners will be selected by a panel of judges. Each winner will receive $150 and will be invited to perform their winning poem at Poetry in the Garden at the Field House Museum. Winners will be notified at least two weeks prior to the event.Â
