Since 2016, the Adirondack Center for Writing has invited writers of all ages, experience levels, and locations within the North Country to send poems to be published and installed in windows in Saranac Lake during National Poetry Month.
In 2025, a second copy of each poem they publish will appear in shop windows in Plattsburgh in collaboration with Outside Art: Plattsburgh Public Art Project, in Malone in collaboration with Downtown Artists Cellar, and in St Lawrence County in collaboration with SLC Arts.
Want to see your poetry printed on a beautiful poster and displayed in shop windows in Saranac Lake, Plattsburgh, Malone, and St. Lawrence County? Send ACW a poem under 25 lines by March 17, 2025 in order to be included. Everyone who submits will be published, as long as the basic guidelines are met:
- Your poem must be under 25 lines (or 300 words, whichever comes first)
- Your poem can be on any subject, but it can’t contain explicit content or any hateful speech
- You must live in the “North Country” of NY State (north of Albany – Utica – Syracuse).
- It must be submitted via our Submittable
