YOUNG POETS WEEKApplication Form Young Poets’ Week runs April 6 - 12, 2009. Teachers can check the teachers' forum each day to read about the new and exciting activities during YP week. Youngpoets.ca is an excellent source of inspiration for this year's entrants as well as a valuable educational resource, featuring lesson plans, reading lists, a digital history of Canadian poetry and an on-line discussion group. Young writers are encouraged to browse articles or join a chat-room discussion with peers and published poets.
Students in six provinces will also have the opportunity to meet poets in their schools through a series of classroom readings sponsored by The League and organized by provincial writers’ associations.
This year’s “Poetic Licence” contest winners will be announced during young poets week. First, second and third prize national winners in each language and age category will receive cash prizes of $350, $300 and $250 respectively. See Re:verse, the League’s youth driven on-line e-zine at www.youngpoets.ca for the winners’ poems
