Join Emilie Lygren and the Marin Poetry Center for a submission party! Bring poems that are ready to send out and help make this often boring and lonely task into a fun community experience. All poets are welcome, whether they submit work to a journal for the first time or are long-time submission pros. The event will include crowdsourced submission tips, light snacks, prizes, and a celebration.
