Each year, Literary Arts publishes an anthology of student work created in our Writers in the Schools workshops and Verselandia! qualifying and grand slams. The anthology’s title is chosen from one of the published students’ works, and student readers launch the anthology at Portland Book Festival.
This year, the line comes from the poem “What Do I Want? / ¿Qué Quiero?” by Gisselle Uc. Read it here.
The 2024-25 Literary Arts Student Anthology: With All This I Live / Con Todo Esto Vivo is now available through the Literary Arts Bookstore.
The Literary Arts student anthology contains original writing by students in five school districts around Oregon who participated in Writers in the Schools and Verselandia. Since 1996, Literary Arts has hired local professional writers to teach in-depth creative writing residencies that culminate in public readings, celebrations, and the opportunity to be published in this very book. In the 2024-25 school year, over 875 students participated in our Writers in the Schools workshops, creating stunning works of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry.
