Burrow Press – Upcoming Events

February 27, 2017 Darlyn Finch Kuhn

Hang out with the cool kids and visit the Burrow booth at Body//Talk’s Contact Music Festival in the Milk District on March 18. (Note: Burrow’s publisher is not one of the cool kids and will not be in attendance.)

If you enjoyed last year’s Modular Collective Art event (organized by Functionally Literate host and moog czar Jared Silvia), check out the event’s return as part of Art 31 on March 23. Synths, visuals, words — all based on chance methods.

Litlando, the day-long equivalent of an MFA for the frugal and possibly deranged, returns to the Gallery at Avalon Island on March 25. The event is spearheaded by The Drunken Odyssey with John King and all proceeds benefit our sister children’s literacy program, Page 15. Tickets are limited, so get one now!

Save the date for May 27. Functionally Literate presents: Jeff VanderMeer. In the meantime checkout his new novel, Borne.

Calls for Submissions

Brevard Poetry Contest

February 27, 2017 Darlyn Finch Kuhn

Brevard writers, sharpen your pencils and dust off those unpublished manuscripts! For the first time, the Cape Canaveral Branch of the National Association of American Pen Women (NLAPW), the Brevard Authors Society, and the Brevard County Public Library System have joined forces to sponsor a poetry competition open to all Brevard County residents age 16 and up. Submissions will be accepted from March 1 through May 1, 2017.

The entry fee is $5.00, and each writer may submit up to three original, unpublished poems in any of the three competition categories: Formal, Free Verse, and Humor. To obtain detailed information about the competition, including guidelines and an entry cover sheet, email ccpw17@gmail.com.

All entries will be reviewed by panel of readers who support the efforts and talent of local writers of poetry. Final selection of the top three winners and the five honorable mention entrants will be made by judges who are professionals in the discipline field, appointed by the Cape Canaveral Branch of the NLAPW and the Brevard Authors’ Society.

The winners and honorable mention writers will read their winning poems and receive their awards at a ceremony on September 30, 2017 at the Central Brevard Public Library in Cocoa
