The Jane Caruso Memorial Scholarship to Poetry by the Sea is an opportunity for Trumbull High School students who would like to deepen their commitment to learning poetic craft. Each year, a select group of THS students will be chosen to attend on one day of the conference. Who was Jane Caruso? Application opens the February preceding the conference.
In addition, we also co-sponsor the Jon Tribble Editors Fellowship, with the Tribble family, including Jon’s wife, Allison Joseph. The fellowship is by invitation only.
Poetry by the Sea is a community of poets and educators committed to diversity, inclusiveness, and mutual respect in the pursuit of artistic excellence and creative growth. The yearly Conference, held in May, welcomes poets of all backgrounds in an environment that values and supports each person’s unique contribution and voice. Our picturesque retreat setting on the Connecticut shore facilitates an easy exchange of ideas among attendees, faculty, and guest speakers, and is an ideal locale for creative inspiration.
