Reginald Kee
[object Object]
Poet, youth advocate, and motivational speaker Reggie Key is curating and producing the second volume of the Youth Poetry Anthology book of poetry. Works by local youth poets whose poetry was featured in the first volume of the anthology, those who participated in the Rock Hill Youth Poet Laureate selection process as well as in other poetry contests and open mics held over the past year will comprise the anthology. Kee will publish the anthology and teach the selected poets how to operate a small business through the promotion of and sales of their book. The book will be released in 2023 at the York County Youth Authors Showcase in May, during which each author will read their piece from the book. The young authors will have the opportunity to sell their books and works at individual booths during the event. Following the showcase, the anthology will be available on Amazon. Kee will use this Small Grant to publish the anthology and produce the showcase.
