The Yawp









What is The Yawp?

The Yawp is a public poetry project with one goal in mind: to get poetry out of dusty books and musty libraries and into the hands, heads, and hearts of the people.

The Yawp was founded by
Emma Bolden, who will be leading two workshops at this year's conference. What started as a creative writing assignment for one of Emma's classes has turned into an interactive public poetry project. To submit a Yawp, visit the website.

There will be a special Yawp surprise for those attending. Be sure to bring your favorite poem or piece of writing!
