LISA ZHENG
Sonoma County Youth Poet Laureate, 2024-25
Lisa Zheng is a sophomore at Maria Carrillo High School. She is a Poetry Out Loud class winner and a volunteer at the Charles Schulz museum in Santa Rosa. In Lisa's own words: Poetry is an empty Google Doc or a fresh leaf of paper where I can escape the rigid rules of school essays and pour my rawest experiences out. I sometimes even translate prose into rhythmic ballads by the piano. I am a “word nerd”: I like the elegance of specific words together and experimenting with unconventional syntax…My main purpose behind writing these poems, besides personal catharsis, is to give a voice to the psychological turmoils that many teens experience that are often kept in the dark due to shame of admittance, and give them a dose of hope and cause for change.”
SABINE WOLPERT
Sonoma County Youth Poet Ambassador 2024-25
Sabine Wolpert is a senior at Analy High School. She is active in the leadership of many clubs including Analy Activist Club, Analy Zero Waste Club, Analy Eco Club, and more. In her own words: "Writing is one of my favorites because it allows me to express myself and process the beautiful and vast world around me. Writing also allows me to explore new parts of myself and the things around me that I am curious about. I deeply value connection to the land and to the people around me. Growing up in community, I have truly learned the importance of this connection and how art can be a beautiful way to cultivate relationships. I hope to grow up to create a more positive and equitable world through whatever career I decide to pursue. Most of all, I want to chase joy and wonder."

Elèv sa a ta dwe gen ant 13 ak 19 an.
Yo dwe yon rezidan konte ki espere rete nan konte a ant septanm 2021 ak out 2022.
Yo ta dwe tou demontre angajman yo nan atizay literè ak angajman kominotè atravè patisipasyon nan sèvis volontè ak kominotè, klib, aktivite apre lekòl, ak aktivite akademik siplemantè.
California Poets in the Schools pral administre pwogram sa a kòm yon patnè rejyonal Urban Word.
Youth Poet Loreate a pral sèvi yon manda yon ane epi li espere patisipe nan omwen kat fonksyon piblik.

ZOYA AHMED
Loreya Powèt Jèn Konte Sonoma, 2020-21
Zoya Ahmed te sèvi kòm premye Loreya Powèt Jèn nan Konte Sonoma an 2020-21. Zoya te ale nan Maria Carrillo High School nan Sonoma County. Zoya anbrase divès background li kòm yon premye jenerasyon Ameriken Sid Azyatik, ki gen tou de rasin nan Pakistan ak Lend. Eritaj kolore sa a se kondwi li. Chak jou Zoya gen pouvwa pou l travay di pou atenn objektif li yo, imilye pa opòtinite yo ba li yo, epi li enspire pou remèt kominote a. Pi gwo motivasyon li yo se paran li ak fanmi li, ki ankouraje l chak jou. Yo se miz li; yo senbolize sans sakrifis nan lavi li. Istwa yo, espesyalman sa yo nan fanm yo nan fanmi Zoya a, se sa ki ba li ekri yon etensèl nan kreyativite ak pèspektiv.
