A friendly, safe spacefor teenage and elder poets to publish poems, find resources and communicate with each other.

Poetry offers many rewards. The annual contest offers for each track (Teen Track and Elders Track) first prizes of $100, second prizes of $50, third prizes of $25, and seven Honorable Mention prizes of $10 each. Poetry is the voice of the soul. Through poetry teenagers and elders can exchange information about the life span in relation to aging, examine their beliefs about aging and their role in their own aging. Poetry can connect generations and for both teenagers and elders, sharing poetry can expand their “known” worlds.

"Life review at any age is a way to learn about self and others in a way that illuminates the possibilities of human existence." Robert Butler, MD, PhD
