Submissions for the 2026 Anthology are open MARCH 21st - MAY 21st

The theme or prompt for Marin Poetry Center’s 2026 members’ anthology is: “REVOLUTION.”

Be creative. Be thoughtful. The American 
Revolution? The Industrial Revolution? Or is it the AI revolution? 
Maybe it’s the revolution of the sun around the sun. Or a spinning top?
