Winners announced for annual Northeast Texas poetry & image contest

Are sprawling urban ghettoes, filled with homeless people, the real prisons of America? Does half of the American population lack the savings to cover a $1,000 emergency payment? Those statements might be true, and in the last three years of the Northeast Texas Poetry Reading, they were the kind of statements to be provocative enough to consider. But the sixteenth annual Northeast Texas Poetry Reading, held in the foyer of the Whatley Center for the Performing Arts on 8 September swerved away from social concerns and ennui. Financed for the second year in a row by Brad and Krisan Sears of Mount Vernon, the sixteenth reading more resembled the positivity of earlier, pre-COVID readings.
