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 "Siren Song" by Margaret Atwood.
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.
