Oregon Health Authority – Call for poetry

When you think about the last three years and all that the COVID-19 pandemic has brought, what feelings or images come to mind? Have you considered expressing those thoughts in poetry?

Poetry can be a powerful tool and a form of therapy.

In recognition of National Poetry Month, we’d love to read your poetry. Whether you’ve written poetry your whole life or never before, if you’re inspired, send us an original poem that reflects your feelings or experiences related to the pandemic. If your poem is around 150 words or less, we may publish it in this newsletter. If you’re unsure where to start, visit this beginner’s guide to writing poetry. Please submit poems by the end of April.

Thank you!
