Speaking of poetry, Monterey County high school poets to be honored

Student poets from throughout Monterey County will be honored Saturday April 28 at 2 p.m. at the Monterey Public Library, where they will receive diplomas, cash awards, and books of potry. And of course, the honorees will regale the audience with their poetry.

Additionally, an anthology celebrating the work of contributing students will be published by the Cherry Center For the Arts, which co-presents the program. The poetry awards are held in conjunction with the Cherry Center’s annual high school art exhibit, Thinking Out Loud. The poetry awards have been established to recognize and promote excellence in high school poets and to develop an interest in creative expression through language. The awards are open to the public.

Enjoy!
