Poems written by seven Brockport Hill School students were selected for publication in a national poetry collection by the American Library of Poetry. Audrey Archer, Caleb Christiansen, Eileena Frey, Emma Hopsicker, Josh Sidebotham, Lillian LaShomb and Olivia Caleb wrote the winning poems in fourth grade last year, with assistance by teachers Natalie McCue, Julie Wilson and Melissa Norment.
The American Library of Poetry offers a free national poetry contest to students in grades 3 through 12, to which McCue submitted the poems. A panel of judges then reviewed the submissions and selected winners based on originality, creativity and artistic quality. The winning poems will be published in “Eloquence, 2015 Student Poetry Collection,” to be released this fall.
According to the American Library of Poetry, “Eloquence” brings critical acclaim to the work of many exceptional young authors from across the United States. Less than 20 percent of all submissions are selected for publication.
