Poetry Out Loud encourages the nation's youth to learn about great poetry through memorization and recitation.
So, we'll go no more a roving / So late into the night, / Though the heart be still as loving, / And the moon be still as bright. -So We'll Go No More a Roving, Lord Byron
...Yet, as a rebel fronts a king in state, I stand within her walls with not a shred Of terror, malice, not a word of jeer. ...
-America, Claude McKay

This year, in honor of the NEA's 50th anniversary, Poetry Out Loud gave state champions the opportunity to showcase their creative writing skills. State champions were invited to submit their own written or spoken word poems, which were judged separately from Wednesday's recitation contest by Patricia Smith, a poetry slam champion and National Book Award finalist. We are thrilled to announce that Rose Horowitz, a senior at Mt. Ararat High School in Harpswell, Maine, and Maddie Lukomski, a junior at Sioux Falls Lincoln High School in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, were named our winners in the written and spoken categories, respectively. We're honored to share their creativity with you today—enjoy!

In 2013, we celebrated National Poetry Month and Poetry Out Loud by asking the state poet laureates to share with us why they thought it was important to learn poems by heart. While some of these fine poets no longer serve their states as laureates, their words ring no less true and still bear witness to the enduring power of poetry. Speaking of the enduring power of poetry, we hope you'll join us in Washington, DC or online at arts.gov May 3-4 for the 2016 Poetry Out Loud National Finals. These teens may initially memorize their poems just for the competition, but as we hear from them time and time again--each poem turns into a gift they hold onto for a lifetime.
