The City of Boston is getting a new Youth Poet Laureate! Join us for a showcase at Boston Public Library's Rabb Hall featuring the 2026 finalists, and find out who will serve as the fourth Boston Youth Poet Laureate (BYPL).
What is the Boston Youth Poet Laureate program?
The BYPL is a writer and advocate who performs original works at civic events, brings poetry into schools and libraries, leads a special interest project, and works closely with Boston’s current Poet Laureate, Emmanuel Oppong-Yeboah, to strengthen the City’s literary community.
