Quiet Diamonds, 2020

In the Spring of 2020, in the midst of a global pandemic that essentially closed down the world of poetry readings and presentations, The Orchard Street Press conducted its third annual Poetry Contest. We were heartened by the amazing response we received, with submissions coming in from all across America.
