New Voices 2026

A series for emerging poets between the ages of 10 and 25. An annual publication which strives to bring together younger poets from various communities and give them a place to express themselves.

We tend to gather in our own communities. There is nothing wrong with that except we begin to sound alike, look alike, think alike.

New Voices is our attempt to expand everyone’s experience, to introduce other ways of everything and to give a platform to the young writers of this generation. We have had poets as young as 10 and 12 who were excellent.
