Alondra Bobadilla, Boston’s Youth Poet Laureate
We are so thrilled to welcome Alondra Bobadilla, the first Boston Youth Poet Laureate, for a hybrid event with our partners at the Ashland Public Library! We hope you will join us either online or in person at APL for an interactive and fun, hands-on poetry based program in which we celebrate the beauty and power of this art form.
We are so fortunate to be collaborating with Ashland High School students who love poetry and who have shared their ideas to make this a great event! We're glad to make this a hybrid program so you can join us in person or online from wherever you are. And, we're always excited to partner with our neighbors at the Framingham Public Library to bring our communities amazing programming!
About Alondra:
In January 2020, Alondra Bobadilla was named Boston's first-ever Youth Poet Laureate. Born and raised in Boston, MA, Alondra found and nurtured her love for writing since she learned her first letters. Alondra uses her writing to highlight social issues that impact her and her community. Through her own work, she demonstrates how creative expression can be a powerful tool for youth to examine feelings around issues, find their voice, and speak up about the changes they want to see for their future. Alondra Bobadilla is the author of a poetry book entitled “With Clipped Wings” which was published June of 2021. Alondra's book will be available for purchase and signing if you can join us in-person.
If you are joining us in person, just show up! No registration necessary.
