PUTNEY-Emma Paris is a creative force.
The 19-year-old from Putney has been named Youth Poet Laureate of Vermont. This position was established in 2024 by Sundog Poetry (sundogpoetry.org), a nonprofit that supports poets and poetry in the state, in partnership with Urban Word, a New York City organization that founded the National Youth Poet Laureate program.
Paris's honor comes with a $500 award, an invitation to a regional competition, and the opportunity to participate in virtual workshops led by renowned poets.
The rising Bennington College sophomore has seen her work appear in VTDigger, Zaum (Sonoma State University's literary magazine), The Viewless Wings Poetry Podcast, Northern New England Review (Franklin Pierce University's literary magazine), MORIA (Woodbury University's literary magazine), Harpur Palate (Binghamton University's literary magazine), and more.
