with Melissa Kwasny

This Letters to a Young Poet series is available as a Teen Mission for Billings Public Library’s Summer Reading Program.

Become pen pals with one of Montana’s poets laureate! Each Monday Melissa Kwasny will send a new poem and prompt to the Billings Public Library’s Teen Page. Write your own poetry as a response and mail it to Melissa. She will respond to every letter sent to her! Teens can pick up fun stationary, envelopes, and stamps from the library if needed. Upload a photo of your letter before mailing to earn points for Summer Reading.
