Haiku Contest Winners and Participants

Check out our booklet of submissions to Perrot’s Haiku Contest! The contest ran from May 5th through June 1st. Entrants submitted their original haikus (3-line, 17-syllable poems) describing their experiences with COVID-19– the pandemic, the closures, and their impact on daily life. We received 98 adult entries, 14 teen entries, and 47 children’s entries. We received entries from as far away as Pakistan and the U.K. Members of the Greenwich Pen Women judged the adult/teen entries, and our Youth Services staff judged the children’s entries. The winning entries received gift cards to Diane’s Books (if local) and to Amazon (if outside of Greenwich).
