Millay House Rockland will celebrate Edna St. Vincent Millay’s 133rd birthday on Saturday, February 22, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.
2024 was an amazing year of growth for us, and we want to take a moment to thank everyone who joined us as members and participated in the events we hosted last year. To that end . . . we will be presenting Poetry Broadsides to all of you who came in as Sustaining Members and above. If you’re not able to be there in person, we’ll send yours out by mail soon after the event
We will also announce the opening of submissions for our second annual Writer-in-Residence program—and this year we will be choosing a winner for two different residencies, one in October 2025 and the other in July 2026. And, we'll announce our final judge—who we're very excited about and hope you will be too.
As an added bonus for all you poetry folks: please come with your favorite Vincent poem. We’ll host an informal poetry reading between 3:00 and 3:30 p.m. Refreshments—there's a rumor that there'll be Vincent decorated cupcakes—conversation, poetry, and community . . . doesn’t get much better than that.
