Youth Library Poetry Competition Winners

Poetry has been called a light by which we may see life. And hundreds of Bermuda school students recently took advantage of a Youth Library contest to communicate their feelings on issues facing young people’s lives in verse.

After receiving more than 200 entries, the Teen Advisory Board of the Youth Library selected the winners of their annual Poetry Competition.
