First Virginia Youth Poet Laureate Named
"Kashvi Ramani, a high school junior and Ashburn resident, was recently named the first-ever Virginia Youth Poet Laureate....She said she gets inspiration for her poems from anything around her. 'For me, anything I think about for longer than five seconds becomes an idea,' she said. 'It’s finding your own style and being committed to that.'"

What Sparks Poetry:
Sean Hill on "Lake Sturgeon"
"The skin my fingers lightly brush is brown, is rough, is wet; I’m touching a lake sturgeon. I’m leaning against the edge of a touch pool at the Great Lakes Aquarium in Duluth, Minnesota with my hand immersed in water well above my wrist. This was in the late aughts when I lived in Bemidji, a small town in north central Minnesota, and my parents were visiting from Georgia, and we’d decided as close as they were, they should see Lake Superior." |
