Ouray County residents are invited to submit original poetry for an anthology of local literary writing that focuses on what life is like in our mountain region. The writing can be personal, but it should reflect in some way the places, people, lifestyle, or landscape of our mountain region.
Preference will be given to writing that employs concrete imagery and fresh word choices. Entries for the book should be submitted in as Word attachments to an email and must include the author’s name, address, and email address. Multiple submissions are welcome.
The poems that are selected will be included in an anthology slated to be published in early summer and made available for sale locally. Writers should email their entries by April 30, 2021 to Beth Paulson, Ouray County Poet Laureate, at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
