POETRY2024 Tennessee Youth Poet Laureate
2022 Inaugural Knoxville Youth Poet Laureate
what is a youth poet laureate?“To be recognized as a city or region's Youth Poet Laureate, young people undergo a comprehensive and rigorous application process that considers not only the artistic merit and subject matter of their writing, but also their commitment to servicing their communities in a number of extracurricular ways.”
— Poetry Society of America
youth poet laureates are selected as one of any participating region— in my case, knoxville and tennessee— and most terms are active for one year.
