CONCORD — Politics will take a back seat at the New Hampshire State House in Concord during the 2019 N.H. Poetry Out Loud Championship on March 15, when accomplished high school students from across the state convene in Representative’s Hall and compete to represent New Hampshire at the national finals in Washington, D.C.

Students reciting at the New Hampshire state championship have won their high school group competitions and performed at the top levels of the four regional semi-finals. At the championship, they will each present poems from an anthology curated by the Poetry Foundation. Competitors must recite at least one poem written before the 20th century and one that is 25 lines or fewer.
