Congratulations Teen Poetry Contest Winners!


The Write Michigan Teen Poetry Contest received 143 entries this year, and we were so impressed by the level of talent on display! KDL would like to thank all our teen poets – it takes courage to share your art with strangers, and we are honored by your participation.

Congrats to the winners, who will each receive a gift card to Meijer!
