Message from Mr. Zetterberg:
I wanted to highlight an opportunity from Expressive Education called the Young American Poetry Digest! Basically, they want students to have an authentic audience for their writing, so they publish a poetry book each year that features poems submitted by students from all across the country. Read more about the project here: https://www.youngpoets.org/about-us.html
The final submission deadline for us is March 21, 2025.
You can submit poetry online here: https://www.youngpoets.org/educators.html
(There are also instructions for submitting through the mail.)
Let me know if you end up submitting anything! Our library gets a free copy of the book if any of our students’ works are selected to be published.
