Here Spring 2004 2 North Carolina Poetry Society Awards Day at Weymouth On Saturday, May 22 we honor the adult and student winners of the North Carolina Poetry Society’s annual poetry contests. What better way to welcome spring than to bring a new generation of poets on stage? The smiles of proud parents and teachers glow brighter than the glittery designer dresses on Oscars night, and the poems you’ll hear far surpass accep- tance speeches. Maybe one of this year’s student poets will be the Poet Laureate winner in a few years or maybe even the state Poet Laureate who selects the winning poem. So listen carefully when the student poets read. (See Libby Campbell’s article on the next page for more on the student contests.) For the second consecutive year the Poet Laureate runners up will be reading their poems. Since the runners up poems are not published in Pinesong, this reading is your chance to hear these poems before they appear in print – if the preliminary judge for the Poet Laureate Award thinks it’s a nifty poem, chances are it will soon find a home in a fine literary journal. The Adult Contests (including the Poet Laureate category) received 434 entries from 90 poets, according to John Ferree (see his story for an inside look at the contest). Most poems came in from the larger metropolitan areas of North Carolina, with Charlotte and the Trian- gle leading. Entries also came from Texas, New Jersey, and Ohio. John thinks this year's entries set a record — the previous being 424 two years ago and 408 last year. The most- entered award category the last two years has been the Thomas H. McDill Award. Awards day at Weymouth is like an outstanding motion picture or stunning poem — it may look like easy work but a lot of effort and long hours go into making it appear effortless. Here’s to the many people who help make this day possible. And the winners are... Best directors – Libby Campbell and John Ferree for their hard work the past two years in overseeing the Student and Adult Contests. Libby, the second vice president in charge of Student Contests, and John, chair of the Poet Laureate Award and Adult Contests, have de- manding and time-consuming jobs.

  • November, 2019
    N​ CETA Notes November, 2019 Fall Conference Review NCETA hosted its Annual Fall Conference, Literacy in the 21st Century, Oct. 11-12 in Charlotte, NC. The ​ ​ conference opened with a screening of Truth Underground, a documentary about three spoken word ​ ​ poets, followed by a panel discussion featuring poet CJ Suitt and filmmaker Gerret Werner. On Saturday, session presenters shared strategies to amplify student voice in the classroom, create a culturally representative pedagogy, and foster creativity and collaboration in our students. Keynote speaker Donovan Livingston shared the importance of disrupting our practices as educators to keep students at the forefront of our classrooms. Our Outstanding Teachers NCETA recognized Dr. Kerry Martinez, kindergarten teacher at Hunter Elementary School in Raleigh, ​ ​ as its Outstanding Literacy Teacher at its 2019 Conference, honoring her passion, dedication, and insistence that “Literacy happens in all teachable moments throughout the day, providing students ​ 1 with the perspective that literacy enhances who they are as friends, thinkers, and learners,” in the words of her principal, Briana Pelton. Former Hunter PTA President Dr. Kelly Morris Roberts, in her nomination of Dr. Martinez, described how “Kerry has a knack for making those little wiggly pails, those vessels for learning that burst into ​ her door each day, just able to hold lots more and do lots more than they could when they entered in September.” Dr. Roberts further describes Dr. Martinez’s gift for building capacity in her students: In her firm, fair, and friendly way, she expects great things from each one of her students, and to hear her parents talk, she gets it.

Manning Cover Illustration: Jane-Chilton Adams Prize-Winning Poems Sponsored by The Poetry Council of North Carolina Incorporated Copyright 2005 by The Poetry Council of North Carolina Incorporated Janice L. Sullivan, President Greensboro, NC Permission to use any of these poems must be obtained from the poet. The Poetry Council of North Carolina, Inc., holds first rights only. Other rights revert to the authors, who are asked to give credit to Bay Leaves when using the poems elsewhere. The Poetry Council, founded in 1949, promotes annual contests and secures notable writers and teachers as judges. Until 1997, meetings of the Council were held in Asheville. In that year, the Council estab- lished an official relationship with Catawba College in Salisbury as a permanent repository for PCNC materials and as a regular meeting place each fall to celebrate Poetry Day, which is sponsored by the Council. The Council does not have a general membership. 2 DEDICATION ally Buckner is a teacher, journalist, playwright, a S writer of fiction, non-fiction and poetry, a workshop leader and editor. If Sally Buckner’s only contribution to poetry in North Carolina was being the editor of Word and Witness: 100 Years of North Carolina Poetry that would be reason enough to honor her. Sponsored by the North Caro- lina Poetry Society and with a grant from the North Carolina Arts Council, Word and Witness is a celebration of North Carolina poetry. It outlines the ascendancy of our literary reputation, highlights the best poetry and poets in North Carolina during the 20th century and serves as a literary and educational resource for readers.
