Poetry Out Loud is a high school program that encourages students to learn about poetry while they master public speaking skills and build self-confidence. Circe Atkinson, from Mandan High School, was the 2024 North Dakota Poetry Out Loud State Champion. Listen as she recites "How to Break a Curse" by Danielle Boodoo-Fortuné.
This project is supported in part by a grant from the North Dakota Council on the Arts, which receives funding from the state legislature and the National Endowment for the Arts.
