"I was surprised that I
was able to select poems that are so out of my usual spoken word preference.
The Poetry Out Loud website has hundreds of poems that I have never seen
before, and the fact that I found 3 and was able to make it so far with them is
amazing to me. I guess I learned that stepping outside of the box is
okay!"- Annabelle Emuze, 2015 IL POL Champion
