On June 1, 2023, the Cambridge Public Library celebrated the 24th year of the Youth Poetry Awards with readings from this year’s winning poets at the Main Library. The 59 winning poems were selected from among nearly 800 entries from K-8 students in 23 public and private schools in Cambridge. Each winner received a certificate and a poetry collection. We are grateful to the Friends of the Cambridge Public Library which has funded the prizes for this program for many years. Read the award-winning poems.
