Fresh Voices 2019

Six talented poets from Connecticut high schools, winners of the Fresh Voices Student Poetry Competition, are represented in Fresh Voices 2019. The Fresh Voices Competition is a beloved component of the Hill-Stead Museum's annual Sunken Garden Poetry Festival. The culmination of this highly selective competition is a performance by the winners on the main stage, before a live audience, on closing night of the festival. In 2019, as in the 25 previous years of this competition's existence, these outstanding young poets express their perspectives in lively, thought-provoking poems.
