WHATCOM COUNTY LIBRARY SYSTEMS | A FOREST OF WORDS: TEEN POETRY ANTHOLOGY

DUE MARCH 15!

Calling all poets in grades 6-12! 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 1st to March 15th. 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!). And for those who need a little more encouragement, getting published is a great thing to have on your college application and resume.
