CINCINNATI (FOX19) - April is National Poetry Month! To celebrate, the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County is inviting teens ages 12-18 to commit their “randomest” acts of poetry for the 10th Annual Random Acts of Poetry Contest.

New this year! The Public Library is partnering with Elementz Hip-Hop Youth Arts Center to offer teens tips on writing poems that communicate a story or message, and how to share poems with their peers as a performance art.
