CONCORD — “He lives to learn,” wrote John Greenleaf Whittier in his poem “In School-days,” one of thousands of classic poems students may choose to learn as part of the 2020 New Hampshire Poetry Out Loud program.

The N.H. State Council on the Arts, which facilitates the program in New Hampshire, has opened registration for this year’s competition to time with the start of the new school year. There are only 45 spots for high schools and high school groups available for the 2020 round, which will mark the program’s 15th year.
