Every person has poetry within them, and the San Marcos Public Library would like to read yours. Through a new monthly poetry bulletin “When the River Speaks,” the SMPL invites San Marcos area residents of any age to submit their original poetry to be collected into a monthly edition, the first of which is themed, “Everybody In!”
“The idea is a way for the community to come together and communicate through poems and art,” said Deborah Carter, SMPL librarian, “We’re publishing it out of the library, but it lives in the community.”
The mission of When the River Speaks is to highlight the talent in the San Marcos community and celebrate the diversity of our voice. To that end, WTRS encourages writers of all experienced levels and backgrounds to submit.
