Ryden Durante, Niasia Howard and Jenna Whitehouse are the first three weekly winners in the Schenectady High Lit Mag’s poetry month contest.
The poems were chosen Monday by the Literary Magazine advisors. The poets now will be considered for the top three grand prizes at the end of the month.
All three poems are published on the Lit Mag page on the school’s digital news website. You can find these poems, other student creative writing and student-written school news articles at www.shsphoenix.com.
The Lit Mag is choosing weekly winners to publish each week of April in honor of National Poetry Month.
To submit your own poem, email your original poem on a Google Doc to one of the three Lit Mag advisers – Mr. Mergil (Main Campus), Ms. Hughes (Freshman Academy) or Mr. Gaboury (Center City/Proctors). All poems must be the writer’s own work. No AI-generated or AI-assisted work will be accepted.
