"Coming Home" Poetry Contest Information
What does home look like to you? Is it an old farmhouse, a certain person, a childhood bedroom, a river you run to? Think about when you feel most rooted. Where in that world that you feel most at peace, most yourself?
Write a poem that takes us there with you. A home doesn’t have to be a building with four walls. It can be a state of being. We want to know what exactly “home” means to you! This year’s contest is very special because so many have requested that winners and finalists be published. We hear you and have made it so!
