Since 1964, California Poets in the Schools has inspired students express themselves through poetry. The poems in this anthology are written by California K-12 students, and their Poet-Teachers, during the 2023-24 school year. California Poets in the Schools is a statewide 501(c)3 nonprofit that empowers students to express their creativity, imagination, and intellectual curiosity through writing, performing and publishing their own poetry. https: //www.californiapoets.org
