About Teen Sequins
Our annual Teen Sequins feature, which showcases teenagers ages 14 through 18, is designed to present outstanding poetry from young writers. Each year (excluding 2019, when we took a break!) we feature one poet from each age category, and honor every poet who has submitted. Our goal is to show the world what we know: just exactly how vibrant, inventive, and moving teenage writers can be. Submissions open annually in the spring.
"We are overwhelmed by the inventiveness, insight, honesty, humor, and craft of all the teenage writers who submitted to the Teen Sequins feature. We are overwhelmed but not surprised, because we believed in teenage voices from the outset of this project: our goal was to show the world exactly how vibrant we know teenage voices are." - Teen Sequins co-creators Sophie Klahr and Robby Auld, remarking on our first feature in 2015
