ALUMNI NEWS | ANNA YANG SELECTED AS YOUTH POET LAUREATE Anna Yang Selected as Santa Clara County Youth Poet Laureate Congratulations to alumna Anna Yang, ‘19, who, on April 30, was selected as the 2022 Santa Clara County youth poet laureate. Anna was selected by a panel of five judges based on a variety of metrics ranging from leadership skills to their ability to dig deep for their personal truths. The position includes an education scholarship. A junior at Notre Dame San Jose, Anna shared, “As Youth Poet Laureate, my purpose is to represent and uplift youth voices through poetry and civic engagement, serving as a poetry ambassador for youth. I will create a year-long poetry project to promote poetry in the community, making it a more accessible medium for self-expression and social justice advocacy.” She further explained, “Writing poetry has always been super meaningful to me, so I’m excited to have the platform to share it with other youth in the community. I found the Youth Poet Laureate program in my sophomore year, and my interpretation of poetry has completely shifted since — from impulsive poetry in a private notebook to the communal art of sharing my passion for poetry onstage. This program has done so much for me, helping me grow into the confident writer that I am. As the next Youth Poet Laureate, I hope to provide this same opportunity for other youth who have a story to share with the world, but don’t yet have the community to lift them into these supportive spaces.” Her work appears in DoveTales, An International Online Journal of the Arts, Young Inklings, The Stanford Daily, and more. She has been recognized by Scholastic Art and Writing Awards, the New York Times, and HFPA, among others. She was also named a California Arts Scholar in Creative Writing. Aside from poetry, she enjoys advocating for social change, hiking by the ocean, and beekeeping. This past spring, she visited campus to discuss bees with Ms. Orme-Axup’s seventh grade science classes.
