“Senator Bernie Sanders met with Vermont’s Poetry Out Loud contestant, Audrey Kiely, and her father, Philip Kiely, of Morrisville, Vermont. Created by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation, Poetry Out Loud is a national recitation contest that encourages the nation’s youth to learn about great poetry through memorization and performance. The program helps students master public speaking skills, build self-confidence, and learn about their literary heritage.”
