Join David Budbill’s daughter and literary executor Nadine Budbill for a dramatic reading and discussion of the poetry that became David Budbill’s Judevine at the Vermont State House.
PoemCity is the Kellogg-Hubbard Library’s annual celebration of National Poetry Month each April. Started in 2010, PoemCity displays poems by Vermonters in storefront windows in downtown Montpelier and organizes a community calendar of poetry events for the month.
We invite Vermont poets of all ages and experience levels to submit a poem to be featured in this community-wide celebration of poetry throughout downtown Montpelier during National Poetry Month in April. Selected poems will be displayed in local businesses and public spaces. Submissions for 2026 are now closed.
PoemCity is presented by the Kellogg-Hubbard Library.
