Seattle Youth Poet Laureate Series

We are excited to partner with Seattle Arts & Lectures to support the publication of the Seattle Youth Poet Laureates’ first collections.

The Seattle Youth Poet Laureate program aims to identify young writers and leaders who are committed to civic and community engagement, poetry and performance, and leadership and education across Seattle.

The Youth Poet Laureate is a program of Urban Word, an award-winning literary arts and youth development organization, presented nationwide in partnership with local youth arts associations and leading national arts groups, including the Academy of American Poets, Poetry Society of America, PEN Center USA, and Cave Canem.
