Loreya Powèt Jèn nan Konte Sonoma
Sonoma County California Poets in the Schools vize pou rekonèt yon elèv ki te reyalize ekselans nan pwezi. Pou sa, nou pral nonmen pwochen Loreatè Powèt Jèn nan Konte Sonoma an septanm 2021. Nou pral sipòte jèn moun sa a kòm yon lidè atizay emèjan pou konte a - ki ap ede ogmante pwofil pwezi a epi devlope odyans li yo.
Espesifik:
Elèv sa a ta dwe gen ant 13 ak 19 an.
Yo dwe yon rezidan konte ki espere rete nan konte a ant septanm 2021 ak out 2022.
Yo ta dwe tou demontre angajman yo nan atizay literè ak angajman kominotè atravè patisipasyon nan sèvis volontè ak kominotè, klib, aktivite apre lekòl, ak aktivite akademik siplemantè.
California Poets in the Schools pral administre pwogram sa a kòm yon patnè rejyonal Urban Word.
Youth Poet Loreate a pral sèvi yon manda yon ane epi li espere patisipe nan omwen kat fonksyon piblik.
YPL pral resevwa yon bous $500 ak yon kontra piblikasyon pou yon chapbook nan travay yo, oswa yon antoloji ki gen ladan travay yo ak sa yo ki nan lòt finalis.
Pwosedi:
Nominasyon YPL ka soti nan nenpòt òganizasyon oswa moun.
Aplikasyon an dwe telechaje, enprime, siyen epi soumèt anvan 15 septanm nan pa imèl bay californiapoets@gmail.com .
Yo ka voye aplikasyon tou bay: California Poets in the Schools - Youth Poet Laureate Submission, PO Box 1328, Santa Rosa, CA 95402.
Nou pral poste yon aplikasyon bay nenpòt moun ki mande youn. Tanpri kontakte meg@cpits.org pou mande.
Ak aplikasyon an, twa nan powèm elèv la dwe soumèt, totalman pa plis pase dis paj.
Pou finalis yo, yo pral mande yon patwone adilt pou bay yon lèt sipò.
Yon komite powèt lokal respekte yo pral revize aplikasyon yo epi chwazi finalis yo.
Yo pral mande finalis yo pou yo patisipe nan yon sesyon jijman pou yo ka evalye kapasite yo pou yo prezante powèm yo yon fason efikas (ankò pou yo ekri bon powèm).
Yo pral anonse gayan an nan mwa septanm nan 2021

LISA ZHENG
Sonoma County Youth Poet Laureate, 2024-25
Lisa Zheng is a sophomore at Maria Carrillo High School. She is a Poetry Out Loud class winner and a volunteer at the Charles Schulz museum in Santa Rosa. In Lisa's own words: Poetry is an empty Google Doc or a fresh leaf of paper where I can escape the rigid rules of school essays and pour my rawest experiences out. I sometimes even translate prose into rhythmic ballads by the piano. I am a “word nerd”: I like the elegance of specific words together and experimenting with unconventional syntax…My main purpose behind writing these poems, besides personal catharsis, is to give a voice to the psychological turmoils that many teens experience that are often kept in the dark due to shame of admittance, and give them a dose of hope and cause for change.”
SABINE WOLPERT
Sonoma County Youth Poet Ambassador 2024-25
Sabine Wolpert is a senior at Analy High School. She is active in the leadership of many clubs including Analy Activist Club, Analy Zero Waste Club, Analy Eco Club, and more. In her own words: "Writing is one of my favorites because it allows me to express myself and process the beautiful and vast world around me. Writing also allows me to explore new parts of myself and the things around me that I am curious about. I deeply value connection to the land and to the people around me. Growing up in community, I have truly learned the importance of this connection and how art can be a beautiful way to cultivate relationships. I hope to grow up to create a more positive and equitable world through whatever career I decide to pursue. Most of all, I want to chase joy and wonder."

ZOYA AHMED
Loreya Powèt Jèn Konte Sonoma, 2020-21
Zoya Ahmed te sèvi kòm premye Loreya Powèt Jèn nan Konte Sonoma an 2020-21. Zoya te ale nan Maria Carrillo High School nan Sonoma County. Zoya anbrase divès background li kòm yon premye jenerasyon Ameriken Sid Azyatik, ki gen tou de rasin nan Pakistan ak Lend. Eritaj kolore sa a se kondwi li. Chak jou Zoya gen pouvwa pou l travay di pou atenn objektif li yo, imilye pa opòtinite yo ba li yo, epi li enspire pou remèt kominote a. Pi gwo motivasyon li yo se paran li ak fanmi li, ki ankouraje l chak jou. Yo se miz li; yo senbolize sans sakrifis nan lavi li. Istwa yo, espesyalman sa yo nan fanm yo nan fanmi Zoya a, se sa ki ba li ekri yon etensèl nan kreyativite ak pèspektiv.
