poemcity on display at j langdon in montpelier

PoemCity is the Kellogg-Hubbard Library’s annual celebration of National Poetry Month each April. Started in 2010, PoemCity displays poems by Vermonters in storefront windows in downtown Montpelier and organizes a community calendar of poetry events for the month.

PoemCity 2026

We invite Vermont poets of all ages and experience levels to submit a poem to be featured in this community-wide celebration of poetry throughout downtown Montpelier during National Poetry Month in April. Selected poems will be displayed in local businesses and public spaces. Submissions for 2026 are now closed.
