Words, Woods, and Wellness Poetry by Washington State Youth

A project of Terrain.org (see other related projects).

About

In collaboration with the Washington State Poet Laureate, Washington State Arts Commission (ArtsWA), Humanities Washington, and Olympia Poetry Network in memory of former board member Wesley Jones, Terrain.org seeks poems by residents or former residents of Washington State ages 21 and younger that engage the natural world. Here in the age of the Anthropocene, we must give our attention to the non-human world, and so we will publish ecopoetry with a strong sense of place by Washington youth.

Limited Demographic: Submissions are restricted to residents or former residents of Washington State ages 21 and younger.
