Calling all poets
Ode: A lyric poem in the form of an address to a particular subject, often elevated in style or manner and written in varied or irregular meter. Often sung.
The 2020 Fort Collins (Virtual) Book Festival celebrates 5 years of showcasing Fort Collins’ favorite pastimes: craft beer, music, food, science & technology, and the outdoors. We are calling all poets to help us celebrate our world-renown craft brewing industry by sending us “odes to Colorado beer.”
The winning odes will be read/performed at the virtual festival by local and regional beer aficionados and brewing celebrities in an online session that will include at-home beer tasting and singalongs. Other prizes TBA.
The 2020 Fort Collins Book Festival will take place over two weekends October 9-11 and October 16-18, 2020.
Ready to express your love for beer? The deadline for submitting a poem is Tuesday, September 15 before midnight. Winners will be notified by September 30.
