CT/ CT National Youth Poetry Slam Team 2013
The Finals at
The Bushnell in Hartford
were extraordinary!
After a day of student/teachers workshops
and a pizza luncheon
CT...here is your team!
Emily, Coree, Sophie, Evan,
Olive
These 5 poets will represent CT at Brave
New Voices
in August, 2013 in Chicago...
All of the poets who performed were amazingly talented
and we wish we could have them ALL on the team! We
hope everyone stays in touch and attends future events.
