36th Annual Poetry Contest
May 5, 2025
Community Room in West Roxbury Library

The Friends’ annual Poetry Contest is a community-wide event held each spring for more than 35 years. Once the year’s theme is announced, local poets of all ages may enter their work into the competition. Winners are then invited to a ceremony at the West Roxbury Branch Library where each winning poem is read aloud. This year’s judge will be  Anne Elezabeth Pluto. Stay tuned for details here.
