Interested in getting your poetry out into the world? Here are two more options, one of which is curated by KWAME ALEXANDER! NPR Morning Edition Poetry Contest - NPR's Morning Edition co-host Rachel Martin regularly hosts award-winning poet Kwame Alexander to talk about the power of the right words. On this segment, Kwame challenges listeners to submit poems that explore what they're thankful about when it comes to our country. Sound hard? I hear ya. There's a lot of craziness in the United States right now. But some of the best poems are born of such conflict, and no one ever said that you can't be critical about something and still thankful for it. Austin International Poetry Festival Anthology - I haven't explored this contest as much, but check out the link in the title and look for the youth anthology section a little ways down the page.
