Where Will Poems Go?

Your poem will be sent to the Humanities Librarian only through the Google Form. The Library will only share your poem on social media and via the "Featured Poems" page of this guide if you check 'yes' on the form.

We invite you to submit a poem (below) to be featured as a "Poem of the Day" in this guide!
