Recently we have received some phone calls from residents asking how to submit a poem they have written. Well, it's quite easy, and most appreciated by both the Great Neck Record and by our readers. We would all be just delighted to publish the poems written by Great Neck poets ... and aspiring poets.

Just so you know for sure, the editors at the Great Neck Record are always happy to hear from our readers. We welcome contributions of stories and photos, and we just love to read the poems. Our local poets column has turned out to be a surprisingly popular feature over the last few years and we do try to include some poetry each week.

If you are a poet, please feel free to share your work with your neighbors. We look forward to hearing from you.
