It was just a fluke that I happened to see

The ghost of a girl in 1893

I didn't think much of her, tried to ignore

But then she came 'round in 1894

A spirit was not something that I had wanted

Did you know that, when you wrote me, I was made of papercuts

That I was ink and glue and wax but mostly, I was papercuts

Did you know that, when you read me, I am made of memories

When Mother's Hands Were Magic

Do you remember when your mother's hands were magic?

When they looked like hands

Smelled like hands

Felt soft and calloused and strong like hands but weren't like your hands because

4 Fierce Young Poets Defining the Genre’s Future

Recently, both controversy and curiosity swept across social media when four-year-old Nadim Shamma-Sourgen landed a book deal with British children’s book publisher Walter Books. Shamma-Sourgen, who hasn’t yet learned how to physically write, dictates his poems to his mother. With whimsical descriptions of “brave feelings” and “baddies,” the short, playful poems reflect Shamma-Sourgen’s age. According to the publisher, this is part of its charm: Shamma-Sourgen sums up emotions with a simplicity and earnestness that adults may fail to capture in their own work. 

No matter how you feel about the divisive, headline-grabbing book deal, this same rationale can be seen in the work of today’s best teen poets, whose work shines with sincerity and assuredness. These four young writers are already boasting a big influence on the literary landscape.

1. Sophie Paquette

Paquette, 18, attended Interlochen Arts Academy, where she focused on writing. Paquette has won awards from Scholastic, Princeton University, and Bennington College for her early poetic talent. In 2019, Paquette was named a 2019 Presidential Scholar in the Arts, an honor awarded to just 20 high school students each year. Readers have praised her work for its ability to take risks, assert a strong voice, and transcend established forms. 

This innovation comes through in her poem “I’m Growing Girls in My Backyard,” published in the online magazine Cosmonauts Avenue . In the poem, Paquette creatively uses flowers and plants as a metaphor for girlhood, reflecting themes of growth, consumption, and appearance-centered culture. “I bouquet my girls. / A vase in the kitchen / so I can watch my girls while I eat: such great / centerpiece, such conversation-starters, so / curated! I palm their chins, pocket the seeds / bled from their lips,” Paquette writes. “—and when they wilt, / I comb their curls and pluck their fruit / and dump the water in the sink.”

2. Taylor Fang

Fang, a Chinese-American poet and student who recently entered college, was appointed as part of the National Student Poets Program in 2019, the top honor for high school poets. Both The UK Poetry Society and The New York Times have recognized Fang’s work, as well. Fang’s work hopes to reflect her second-generation American upbringing, offering an unflinching, firsthand perspective on migration. 

In “American Hello Kitty,” published in TAYO Literary Magazine , Fang boldly writes from her own experience, while also taking inspiration from a painting by Roger Shimomura. “How do the Chinese name their children— / by dropping pots and pans down the stairs, / said the white boy on the bus / home from third grade, and I wondered if this meant / he thought we were rich enough to break / all our cooking equipment just for a name— / the Chinese who invented / the oldest written language in the world,” Yang writes. “And I wondered if this meant / I was supposed to laugh along, and not say that the pans / would make sounds like Ben and Brock and / Jane and Claire, and that my language / was not supposed to be a taunt called inability / to assimilate. ”

3. Solli Raphael 

Poet and spoken word performer Solli Raphael catapulted into the poetry scene when his performance at the Australian Poetry Slam national final went viral in 2017, when he was just 12 years old. The poem tackled heavy issues like homelessness, gentrification, and environmentalism, joining a long history of poetry that strives for social change . Now 15, Raphael’s first collection Limelight is out from Andrews McMeel.

In “Game Changer,” which appears in the book, Raphael reflects on the overwhelming praise he has received and defines his own complex identity in the midst of it. “I am a gamechanger. / I am a game change, change game, low age, no rage / onstage arranger. / I am both yes and no, stay and go, catch and throw, / goodbye and hello, forest ranger,” Raphael asserts. “I am the lightning that makes thunder—rumble. / I am the space—outside of the box.”

4. Manasi Garg 

Garg, a high school senior, won The Kenyon Review ’s prestigious Patricia Grodd Poetry Prize for Young Writers, with her poem being chosen out of more than a thousand submissions. Garg is also a 2020 National Student Poet , appointed by a panel of judges that included Danez Smith and U.S. Poet Laureate Juan Felipe Herrera. 

In her prize-winning poem “Cutglass,” Garg explores themes like immigration, violence, memory, and the power of family, balancing cruelty with tenderness. She writes, “I am trying to weep for / the rubber factory and the boy I kissed behind it, trying to / remember what it felt like to deliver my baby sister in the bedroom / beside the mango grove. What it felt like to bear the weight of another / heart: Cavernous, like thumbing through a photo album of the dead / grandmother you never listened to. Oh Mama, / Memory will always load the gun, and memory will find us scattered into lace. / . . . We will take this new country and wear it like a coat.”

Local nursery published in the young writers publication of ‘my first poem’.

Certificate of Achievement

We are delighted to announce that The Old Station Nursery Mottershead Drive has been selected to contribute to the publication of 'My First Poem 2020 – Creative Stars'.

At the start of February, each Pre-Schooler at The Old Station Nursery Mottershead Drive, entered the Young Writers competition of writing a poem ‘All About Me ’. The nursery, which provides care for children aged 0-5 years old, were delighted to hear that all of the children’s poems submitted had been chosen for publication.

This week, the nursery received a delightful package in the mail – a copy of the publication, accompanied by individual certificates for each child.

Kelly Hall, Nursery Manager at The Old Station Nursery Mottershead Drive , commented, “We were so very proud of all the children and the amazing writing skills that they demonstrated. The children worked so hard on their individual poems and it is fantastic to see each child recognised for their hard work.”

She continued, “The children were thrilled to receive their certificates and the book this week. At The Old Station Nursery Mottershead Drive, we aim to inspire a love of writing so the Young Writers competition is the perfect challenge for all of our budding authors!”

For 29 years, Young Writers have been championing poetry and creative writing in educational settings through poetry competitions. They organise competitions catering to various age groups throughout the year.

The nursery has also been entered into an overarching nursery competition, where one entry from across the UK will win. The outcome of this competition will be unveiled later in the year.

Stay tuned for more updates as we celebrate our budding poets and their journey!

Black History Month 2024: African Americans and the Arts 

A woman reads a book

The national theme for Black History Month 2024 is “ African Americans and the Arts .”  

Black History Month 2024 is a time to recognize and highlight the achievements of Black artists and creators, and the role they played in U.S. history and in shaping our country today.  

To commemorate this year’s theme, we’ve gathered powerful quotes about learning, culture and equality from five historic Black American authors, teachers and artists who made a significant impact in the Arts, education ― and the nation.  

  Making history  

“Real education means to inspire people to live more abundantly, to learn to begin with life as they find it and make it better.” – Carter G. Woodson, Author, Journalist, Historian and Educator, 1875-1950  

Known as the “Father of Black History,” Carter G. Woodson was primarily self-taught in most subjects. In 1912, he became the second Black person to receive a Ph.D. from Harvard.   

He is the author of more than 30 books, including “T he Mis-Education of the Negro. ”  

Carter G. Woodson dedicated his life to teaching Black History and incorporating the subject of Black History in schools. He co-founded what is now the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, Inc. (ASALH) . In February 1926, Woodson launched the first Negro History Week , which has since been expanded into Black History Month.  

Carter G. Woodson

Providing a platform  

“I have created nothing really beautiful, really lasting, but if I can inspire one of these youngsters to develop the talent.” – Augusta Savage, Sculptor, 1892-1962  

An acclaimed and influential sculptor of the Harlem Renaissance, Augusta Savage was a teacher and an activist who fought for African American rights in the Arts. She was one out of only four women, and the only Black woman, commissioned for the 1939 New York World’s Fair. She exhibited one of her most famous works, “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” which she named after the hymn by James Weldon Johnson, sometimes referred to as the Black National Anthem. Her sculpture is also known as “ The Harp, ” renamed by the fair’s organizers.

Raising a voice  

“My mother said to me ‘My child listen, whatever you do in this world no matter how good it is you will never be able to please everybody. But what one should strive for is to do the very best humanly possible.’” – Marian Anderson, American Contralto, 1897-1993  

Marian Anderson broke barriers in the opera world. In 1939, she performed at the Lincoln Memorial in front of a crowd of 75,000 after the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) denied her access to the DAR Constitution Hall because of her race. And in 1955, Marian Anderson became the first African American to perform at the Metropolitan Opera. She sang the leading role as Ulrica in Verdi’s Un Ballo in Maschera.  

young writers my first poem

Influencing the world  

“The artist’s role is to challenge convention, to push boundaries, and to open new doors of perception.” – Henry Ossawa Tanner, Painter, 1859-1937  

Henry Ossawa Tanner is known to be the first Black artist to gain world-wide fame and acclaim. In 1877, he enrolled at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts , where he was the only Black student. In 1891, Tanner moved to Paris to escape the racism he was confronted with in America. Here, he painted two of his most recognized works, “ The Banjo Lesson” and “ The Thankful Poor of 1894. ”    

In 1923, Henry O. Tanner was awarded the Chevalier of the Legion of Honor by the French government, France’s highest honor.  

Henry Ossawa Tanner

Rising up  

“Wisdom is higher than a fool can reach.” – Phillis Wheatley, Poet, 1753-1784  

At about seven years old, Phillis Wheatley was kidnapped from her home in West Africa and sold into slavery in Boston. She started writing poetry around the age of 12 and published her first poem, “ Messrs. Hussey and Coffin ,” in Rhode Island’s Newport Mercury newspaper in 1767.   

While her poetry spread in popularity ― so did the skepticism. Some did not believe an enslaved woman could have authored the poems. She defended her work to a panel of town leaders and became the first African American woman to publish a book of poetry. The panel’s attestation was included in the preface of her book.  

Phillis Wheatley corresponded with many artists, writers and activists, including a well-known 1 774 letter to Reverand Samson Occom about freedom and equality.

Honoring Black History Month 2024  

Art plays a powerful role in helping us learn and evolve. Not only does it introduce us to a world of diverse experiences, but it helps us form stronger connections. These are just a few of the many Black creators who shaped U.S. history ― whose expressions opened many doors and minds.  

Black History Month is observed each year in February. To continue your learning, go on a journey with Dr. Jewrell Rivers, as he guides you through Black History in higher education. Read his article, “A Brief History: Black Americans in Higher Education.”

Book-length poem narrates struggle of young Black fighters in WWI

2/13/2024 By | Kate Blackwood , Cornell Chronicle

In the new book-length work, “School of Instructions: A Poem,” Ishion Hutchinson narrates the psychic and physical terrors of West Indian soldiers volunteering in British regiments in the Middle East during World War I. The book also follows the story of Godspeed, a schoolboy living in 1990s rural Jamaica.

The poem maps Godspeed’s daily experiences – at school, at home, outdoors – onto the travels and travails of the young Black soldiers as their battalion moves in and out of action, through locations found on ancient and current maps of the Middle East: Alexandria, Jordan Valley, Bethlehem and many others. They encounter violence, drudgery, loss, illness – but nevertheless share some characteristics, said Hutchinson, the W.E.B. Du Bois Professor in the Humanities in the College of Arts and Sciences, with the boy living decades later in a Jamaica free of British rule.

This work was commissioned by the British poet Karen McCarthy Woolf for the centenary of the First World War. It was short-listed for the 2023 T. S. Eliot Prize .

Book cover: School of Instructions

The College of Arts and Sciences spoke with Hutchinson about the book:

Question: Would you share the story of this book’s beginning and your process in writing it?

Answer: The book’s beginning grew from my visits to the archives of the Imperial War Museum in London to look at material related to West Indian soldiers volunteering in British regiments during World War I. The commission was to write a single poem. However, what I found in the archives surprised and haunted me so much that the single poem grew, against my will, into a book which took about seven years to complete. It is hard, even in retrospect, to summarize or describe my process in writing the book. It amounts to constantly sublimating what I had found in the archives into a music of multiple registers that keep colliding into what I wrote.

Q: In telling the history of West Indian soldiers volunteering in British regiments, what can poetry bring to the material?

A: It is what the imagination brings to the material, and that is imploding the singularity of what is deemed to be the official, historical narrative. It is about finding the language to push against – as far as possible – the easy, formulaic expression of the material and in general whatever forces around us that flattens speech into an unimaginative babble. Poetry isn’t interested in “telling” us anything. Poetry moves us to recognize the deep shock of times – past, present, future – we inhabit at each moment.

Q: Who is Godspeed, and what role does he play in this work? 

A: Godspeed is the name of a young boy whose story is intertwined with those of the West Indian soldiers. The poem isn’t from his point of view, but his experience is a tender counterpoint to the tragic reality of the soldiers.

Q: There’s a hand-drawn map, dated 1918, in the very front of the book. Where does it come from, and how does it preface the poem to come?

A: The map was drawn by T. E. Lawrence, a.k.a. Lawrence of Arabia. It shows sections of battlefields in the Middle East and names areas where the West Indian soldiers fought. The sinuous squiggles and light shadings of the lines of the map have a beautiful, innocuous quality I like. They seem, at least to me, to hint at a kind of mischievous playfulness which is characteristic not just of Godspeed but also of some of the young soldiers encountered in the poem to come.
