In anticipation of National Poetry Month, we’re collecting original works to display in our windows throughout April! Whether you’re a seasoned writer or this is your first poem ever, we’d love to share your work!

  • Original work only!

  • Font should be LEGIBLE and fairly large
  • Include your name with the poem itself ​(“Anonymous” is a perfectly valid choice!)

In terms of content, we ask that poems be uplifting and non-political. Although we do not shy away from engaging with serious topics here at Maxima, we want to use this particular project to bring joy and smiles to our community!

Deadlines:
Poems will be displayed in our windows April 1-30, so the sooner you send us your work, the better!
To also be featured on our social media, poems must be submitted by April 15th at the latest.
