Submit your original poems for consideration to be included in our annual teen poetry book, A Forest of Words.
Send in up to two of your original poems between January 1 to March 15, 2024. A panel of library staff and area teens select poems based on originality, creativity, and craft. Accepted poets receive a copy of the book (and bragging rights!). For grades 6-12.
You will hear from us in an email or a phone message by April 30, 2024. If you haven’t heard from us by that date, please call us at (360) 305-3600.
