We’ve created Pine Tree Poetry to interlace students, their peers, parents, teachers and school librarians in a quest for poetry writing excellence. Rarely do students earn kudos or trophies for their writing, but at Pine Tree Poetry, we are dedicated to rewarding the fine writing achievements of students who are 5 – 18.
Pine Tree Poetry contributes four important elements to the realm of student poetry. We:
1.
Receive, read, evaluate, pick (a few) and publish
the best poems written by poets ages 5 – 18.
2.
Support schools by awarding thousands of dollars each year for much-needed library materials. Some awards are based upon the number of poems submitted while others are selected at random from among all particiipants.
3.
Give a free copy of The Pine Tree Poetry Collection to the library of every school that has one or more students published.
4.
Highlight the life lesson that many will write and the best will be chosen. We are not a vanity publishing company!
We’re out to change the world one poem at a time and we invite students, parents, librarians, teachers and those who love the written word to join us.
