Ann Arbor Youth Poet Laureate Commencement Performance

The five finalists in the contest for designation as the Ann Arbor youth poet laureate read from their poetry. The finalists were chosen from among the applicants by a panel of local poets-Scott Beal, Keith Taylor, Angel Nafis, Danez Smith, and Dee Matthews-some of whom are on hand tonight to select the winner. The winner receives a contract to have a debut collection of poems published by Penmanship Books in New York.
