Teenager: Readings

Listen to six YWP writers from Vermont who recorded their poems and essays about their lives as teenagers. These outstanding pieces were part of our writing and visual art contest, Teenager: Who Are You? Mary Catherine Jones of Voice Over Vermont generously opened her Shelburne recording studio to Young Writers Project to produce these recordings. A big thank you to Mary Catherine for amplifying the voices of young writers. We're excited to share the readings with you!
