Poetry Trading Post

Welcome to the info page for SPD's New Lit Generation Poetry Trading Post!

Through the Poetry Trading Post, SPD offers regular opportunities for junior high, high school and college-age students to write a poem and receive a free book in exchange.

Right now the online Trading Post offer is on hiatus, but please check back here in the future, as we hope to open up the offer again! In the meantime, take a look at the on-line New Lit Guide for a sampling of the great poems we have collected.

If you are in the Bay Area, a Poetry Trading Post will take place at SPD's upcoming Open House (date to be announced). More New Lit Generation events will be announced here soon!

The SPD Trading Post is made possible through the generosity of the Marin Foundation, the Haas Foundation, the San Francisco Foundation, and the James Patterson Foundation, and will continue as long as funding permits.
