Poetry Callout – February 2025

Poetry in response to art in any form  

Call for submissions 

Have you ever been so affected by a work of art that you were compelled to write a poem about it? It could have been a movie that touched you, music or dance that enthralled with its rhythm, or art that inspired you. Your poem may illuminate the art itself, or the artist who created it. The poem stands alongside the art that inspired it and deepens its meaning.  

Here at the Glebe Report’s Poetry Quarter, we want to read your poem created in response to another piece of art. 

As usual, poems should be: 

• Original and unpublished in any medium (no poems submitted elsewhere, please); 

• No more than 30 lines each; 

• On any aspect of the theme within the bounds of public discourse; and 

• Submitted on or before Monday, January 20, 2025. 

Poets in the National Capital Region of all ages welcome (school-age poets, please indicate your grade and school). Please send your entries (up to 5 poems that meet the criteria) to editor@ glebereport.ca. Remember to send us your contact information and your grade and school if you are in school.  

Deadline: Monday, January 20, 2025.
