The winners of the 2014 Literary Arts Contests Awards were announced on Sunday on the porch of the Literary Arts Center at Alumni Hall.
At 4 p.m. today, 17 Chautauquans will get the chance to share those favorite poems at the Hall of Philosophy as part of the Pinsky Favorite Poem Project.
If you have ever aspired to be the next Billy Collins, Margaret Atwood or Robert Frost, you might not get the chance, but the Chautauqua Literary Arts Friends are giving Chautauquans the opportunity through their Favorite Poem Project.
Former U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Pinksy created the project in 1997 with hopes of “celebrating, documenting and encouraging poetry’s role in Americans’ lives,” according to FavoritePoem.org.
This year, a committee of Chautauqua Literary Arts Friends members selected 16 poems, which will be read at 4 p.m. today in the Hall of Philosophy.
