In the summer of 2017, a dozen workshops were conducted at public libraries throughout our region, led by professional poets and educators. The results produced our third separate volume of the annual — the Kids! San Diego Poetry Annual — published December 1, 2017.
Edited by Rae Rose, the Kids! SDPA annual is geared for pre-teenagers, aged 6 through 12. Assistant Editor Ameerah Holliday oversees the digital production, as she does as the Editorial Director of the complete San Diego Poetry Annual. Art Director Kimi Strain coordinates the illustrations and cover art.

To make the inaugural KSDPA possible, the sponsoring organization, San Diego Entertainment + Arts Guild (SDEAG), received a Community Enhancement Program grant from San Diego County, and private donations from Daniel Palasciano, Suzanne O’Connell, Friends of the Oceanside Library and Gordon Williamson.
