Share your poetry: What does a new beginning mean to you?

Flowers bloom out of an open book

It's almost the new year and here at NHPR, we'd like to hear your poetry.

With 2023 on the horizon, NHPR wants to share your poetry about what a new beginning means to you. What does a fresh start look like to you? What are you hopeful about as this year comes to a close?

We’re partnering with State Poet Laureate Alex Peary, who will anonymously read your submissions. We’ll then share some of them on air and online.

You can submit your poems to voices@nhpr.org. All submissions must be original. If you are under the age of 18, please indicate that in your email. Poems with profanity will be excluded.

For inspiration, here are examples of previous poetry submissions, and here are some ideas from Alex Peary.

As the All Things Considered producer, my goal is to bring different voices on air, to provide new perspectives, amplify solutions, and break down complex issues so our listeners have the information they need to navigate daily life in New Hampshire. I also want to explore how communities and the state can work to—and have worked to—create solutions to the state’s housing crisis.
As the host of All Things Considered, I work to hold those in power accountable and elevate the voices of Granite Staters who are changemakers in their community, and make New Hampshire the unique state it is. What questions do you have about the people who call New Hampshire home?
