UConn ECE Wallace Stevens Poetry Contest

#UConnECEWSpoetrycontest

Every year since 1964, a prominent poet has been invited to give a reading at UConn as part of the Wallace Stevens Poetry Program. UConn ECE Students are invited to submit a packet of poems, which are judged in the UConn ECE Wallace Stevens Poetry Contest. The Wallace Stevens Poetry Program awards a cash prize and invites the top three winners to the annual program at the Storrs campus where the first place winner is invited to read their masterpiece.
