Wordplay 2023

We had so much fun at Wordplay last weekend! We absolutely loved seeing so many people there celebrating books 💕

We loved that so many of you stopped by and participate in our in-person Short Form Contest. We had some amazing entries! Read the winners’ poems below.


We also want to say ‘Thank you!’ to everyone that came by our booth and contributed to our community poem (and to everyone that commented on our Worldplay community poem post online!). We were thrilled to see so many poets leave a little piece of their work in our comments and on our notepad 🥺🥰

We can’t wait to attend again next year! And a big thanks from everyone here at Button Poetry to The Loft Literary Center for hosting this unbelievable event and letting us be a part of it!
