SUMMARY:Seattle Arts & Lectures Youth Poetry Reading
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a celebratory poetry reading featuring SAL’s talented Youth Poetry Fellows. This reading marks the end of the program\, and you are invited to come celebrate their genius with us!\n\n\nRegistration is not required\, but helps us anticipate audience size. If you’d like to RSVP\, please do so here! \nAbout SAL’s Youth Poetry Fellowship (YPF): \nThe Youth Poetry Fellowship serves a cohort of young writers committed to poetry\, performance\, civic and community engagement\, education\, and equity across the Puget Sound region. Over the course of the school year\, fellows meet regularly for workshops with the Youth Poetry Fellowship mentors. Fellows also have numerous public opportunities to share their voices\, leadership\, and love of Seattle throughout the course of the year. One of the fellows serves as the Youth Poet Laureate and writes a poetry collection published by Poetry NW Editions. \nAhsenti Alfedil (she/her) is a first-generation American of Ethio-Sudanese descent and a student at the Bush School. A multidisciplinary Piscean\, she moves fluidly between poetry\, acrylic/oil painting\, and movement—always led by curiosity and feeling. When not overwhelmed by her academic workload\, she finds joy in braiding hair\, spending hours adorning herself and loved ones in henna\, skating to her favorite playlists\, and research as a leisure activity. As a writer\, Ahsenti turns most often to poetry. Her work shows resistance to categorization because she follows her intrigue; the fleeting moments that spark inspiration to create. Through her writing\, she hopes to make space for those navigating layered identities\, vulnerability\, and for stories that make people feel seen in their most intricate and unspoken parts. \nNadia Najam is a senior at Liberty High School in Renton\, Washington. She finds joy in reading any good book she can get her hands on and spending time in nature. Through YPF\, Nadia hopes to grow more confident in sharing her writing with the world and to challenge herself to explore new themes and styles in her poetry. \nand more. \n
