Why has a poem been removed from the online anthology?
Poems that are particularly popular or ones that have been used frequently in national competition are retired for a few years to refresh the anthology selections. This way, the Poetry Out Loud program can highlight new poems for students and their audiences. Judges also appreciate hearing new performances. All poems appearing from the start of the school year online and those in the print anthology are eligible for competition this year. We hope you’ll find it rewarding to discover a new poem to recite and share with others.
