Poetry, if done well, can be heart-wrenching, beautiful, and the catalyst for tears from the most guarded individuals.

The latter scenario won’t be a concern at the Poetry Out Loud Contest where talented state semifinalists will compete to move on to the national competition. Guest judge Alberto Álvaro Ríos will also be there to treat us with a reading of his own.
