Salvatore Marici is the 2010 Collins Poetry Residency poet. Sal will serve as poet-in-residence at the Midwest Writing Center (MWC) throughout the month of October. He will encourage community-based poets who are developing their craft outside of a formal academic setting, and to provide a forum to showcase their work through an online poetry journal and in a public reading of their poems at 7 p.m. on October 27 at MWC. He will also conduct 3 readings and 2 workshops. See http://communitybasedpoetry.blogspot.com/ for dates and updated events.
Sal began writing poetry in 2002 and has never looked back. Since then, his poetry has seen print in numerous literary journals and regional and national publications. In 2009 and 2010, he took second place in MWC's Iron Pen contest, and this year was a national finalist in the Mississippi River Valley Poetry contest. He is a member of the Quint City Poets and the LeClaire Writers, and is a regular participant in MWC's Out Loud monthly open reading.
