The full page of prize-winning poems in the Illinois Poet Laureate Contest is truly a cause for celebration. It is so important that young creative talent be encouraged and rewarded. Gwendolyn Brooks does so annually and should receive our gratitude for her generosity.
The prize-winning poems ”begin in delight and end in wisdom,” which is Robert Frost`s definition of good poetry. The young poets` voices sing with a remarkable excitement and energy.
