THANK YOU to all the students who participated in the competition, and to the teachers and parents who support them.
The Fresh Voices Poetry Competition provides Connecticut high school poets the experience of a lifetime, while offering students the opportunity to write and prepare poems suitable for presentation and publication.
Fresh Voices finalists will read their poetry for a panel of judges on April 24th at 6:00 pm. At the conclusion of the readings, 4 to 6 winners will be announced.
The winners will participate in a performance workshop with professional poets on May 31st, and their poetry will be published in a chapbook by Antrim House Press. Winners will share the podium with nationally-recognized poets Natalie Diaz and Aja Monet on August 19th, reading their own work before a large, receptive audience in the breathtaking Sunken Garden at Hill-Stead Museum!
