Michaela Jenkins, a junior at the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities in Greenville, South Carolina, took first place in this year’s Patricia Grodd Poetry Prize for Young Writers presented by The Kenyon Review.

The Kenyon Review-sponsored poetry award recognizes outstanding young poets and is open to high school sophomores and juniors throughout the world. Deadline to enter is November 30, 2013.
