Member Appreciation Week 2025
The League will celebrate the poets and poetry of our very own community during Member Appreciation Week 2025, from August 3 - 9.
Based on the success of last year's member poetry digest, the League is accepting submissions of previously published poems for inclusion in a special Poetry Pause digest.
Submissions are open to all members of the League. Poems must be provided with a direct link to read or watch the poem in an online journal, on a website, on a blog, or as a video.
Deadline: July 23, 2025
Members are invited to join us for an online social and reading on Wednesday, August 6, 2025 at 8pm-9(ish) ET.
Open mic signup will take place at the start of the event. Readers will be limited to one poem, but participants are encouraged to share comments and links in the chat to move connection beyond the event!
This event is open to all, but the open mic is reserved for members of the League. This event will not be recorded, and AI transcribers will be removed.
Members: keep an eye on your inbox for discounts for online shopping at Canadian bookish retailers!
