Prose, poetry and farm fresh food!

The White Plains Farmers Market is set to host, what I think, is a truly inspired melange of treats for all of our senses.
On Wednesday, July 9, from 11:00a.m.- 2:00p.m., shoppers buying farm-fresh corn and tree-sweet peaches at the White Plains Farmers Market will also be confronted with creative literary fare. Inkwell, the award-winning journal published by Manhattanville College’s Master of Arts in Writing program in Purchase, will host a booth across from the Barnes & Noble store, where volunteers will be giving away free copies of Inkwell—and free drinks and snacks! 
Visitors will be treated to brief readings of poems or stories every 15-minutes—a sample of the work of writers who have published in Inkwell. There will also be a raffle for subscriptions to Inkwell, which comes out semi-annually.
The White Plains Farmers Market is at 255 Main Street & Hamilton Avenue, White Plains, NY 10605 and is open from 8:00a.m. – 4:00p.m. on Wednesdays.
Also on hand for aspiring writers, will be submission guidelines for the journal’s upcoming Fiction and Poetry Competitions, with $1,500 awarded for the best short story and $1,000 for the best poem. This year, novelist Brian Morton will judge the fiction competition and poet Major Jackson will judge the poetry competition.
