The Stillwater Review and Betty June Silconas Poetry Center, at Sussex County Community College, Newton, New Jersey, honor the memory of Betty June Silconas, a Sparta, New Jersey, resident, who celebrated her life in her poems. Our readings, workshops and The Stillwater Review provide a place for writers both in our community and across the country to share their work, their support, their love of poetry. We are deeply grateful to the Silconas family, especially to Betty June. Without her love of poetry, none of this would be possible. Please visit the Betty June Silconas Poetry Center Facebook page or our page on the Sussex County Community College Website.
