Five high school students from Florida to Utah have earned the distinction of being named this year's National Student Poets, a program established over a decade ago.
Brooklyn resident Miles Hardingwood has read poetry throughout New York City and hopes his work will help create social change. Jacqueline Flores, currently attending Fort Meade Middle Senior High School in Zolfo Springs, Florida, believes poetry can help make more visible the lives of her fellow Mexican Americans.
The National Student Poets Program is a partnership of the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the nonprofit, presenter of the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, from which the winning poets were selected. "The smart, engaging, imaginative poetry of these five young poets will be an inspiration to their peers and their elders as it has been to the judges and the IMLS. We are proud to present them to our country," Crosby Kemper, director of the museum and library institute, said in a statement Wednesday.
