April is National Poetry Month and the Hamden Public Library is inviting patrons 18 and older to record their original poetry for a special poetry-themed episode of our podcast. Just call (203) 903-2171‬ and recite your poem as a message in our Google Voice mailbox!

No more than two (2) entries per person will be accepted. No explicit language. If your poem is significantly longer than three (3) minutes, we reserve the right to edit it down to a reasonable length. You must be 18 or older. By leaving us a voice message, you’re giving us permission to record your voice and use this recording for our podcast, online, or anywhere we broadcast.
