Westchester’s first Youth Poet Laureate, Danielle Kohn, is leading two poetry workshops for young people in October. Danielle was named Youth Poet Laureate in January 2020, and has since been busy sharing her love of poetry with libraries and communities around Westchester.

Danielle believes that poetry is for everyone. She uses approachable activities to encourage participants to give it a try. In these workshops, participants will learn about different forms of poetry, engage in fun writing games, follow stimulating prompts, and create their own masterpieces.

The virtual workshop on Tuesday, October 6th at 4:30 p.m. is for children in grades 2-6. Teens in grades 6-12 are invited to participate in the virtual workshop on Tuesday, October 13th, at 4:30 p.m.
