Call for Submissions – National Poetry Month

Calling all QC poets! Dead Poets Espresso & the Midwest Writing Center are partnering to feature local poets’ work during April, which is National Poetry Month.

The selected poems will be featured at Dead Poet’s Espresso (1525 3rd Ave A, Moline, IL) and the Moline Public Library throughout the month of April. If enough submissions are received, additional poems will be selected and rotated throughout the month. We are also looking for other partner venues to showcase the poems—if you are interested in hosting, please contact MWC.

Bespoke Poems QC: Poems on Demand — Back for 2022!

MWC is partnering with some of the best poets and writers in the community to offer bespoke poems, written for anyone you’d like to gift a poem—for any occasion you like, or for no occasion at all.

By participating in this limited-time program, you’re not only giving a unique poem to someone you care about, but you’re also supporting local writers and writing/literacy programs in the Quad Cities.
