Poets will have until the end of January to submit for one of the presentation slots at the Montserrat (Missouri, USA) Poetry Festival to be held at Montserrat Vineyards later this year.  Organizers are seeking poets to present original works that would help comprise an entertaining and varied program for a general audience.
