Letter from Bradley Bleck, TYCA National Webtender

***

Please share this request with all your colleagues who teach at two-year colleges, whether they are Two-Year College English Association (TYCA) members or not. Forward far and wide!

Some of you will recall that we had a National Poetry Month event last year, posting audio and video versions of poems on the NCTE/TYCA site. We’re doing it again this year and we’d like you to submit either an audio or video version of your original poetry to highlight some of the creative work done by faculty in our nation’s two-year colleges. Each of TYCA’s eight regions will have at least three poems posted to/published on this year’s site. We’ll be posting a new poem each day through the month of April in celebration of National Poetry Month. 

To have your poem considered for posting/publication, please submit your poem to the reviewer for your region. Information is below. These reviewers will select the poems they find worthy of publication to be published on the TYCA site. If you don’t know your region, click on this link:  TYCA Regions and Conferences. Additionally, you must complete and fax a permissions form to TYCA or your poem cannot be published.  

If you have any questions, or the permission form was lost en route, please contact me at bradb@spokanefalls.edu and we’ll help you out.
