Seven Brockport Hill students’ work was selected for publication in a national poetry collection by the American Library of Poetry. The students, Brielle Cooke, Evelyn Hagreen, Norah Hall, Abigail Jarman, Elizabeth Kuhlkin, Layla Mangini and Kaylee Stephens, wrote poems last year in Natalie McCue’s, Melissa Norment’s and Julie Wilson’s fourth-grade class. McCue submitted the poems to a national poetry contest offered by the American Library of Poetry.
The American Library of Poetry Student Poetry Contest is an annual national contest for students in grades 3 through 12. A panel of judges review the submissions and select winners based on originality, creativity and artistic quality.
The 2016 winning poems were published in “Accomplished, 2016 Student Poetry Collection,” a book intended to bring critical acclaim to the work of many exceptional young authors from across the United States. Out of the thousands of submissions received by The American Library of Poetry, less than 20 percent were selected for publication.
