‘Poetry is powerful’: Meet Milwaukee Youth Poet Laureate Angela Wang

Every year, Woodland Pattern selects a Milwaukee Youth Poet Laureate through a competition. Last summer, the local non-profit crowned Angela Wang with the literary honor. She's a senior at the University School of Milwaukee and wraps up her service this upcoming May.

As Youth Poet Laureate, Wang shares her poetry across the city and helps guide other young poets through writing workshops. Lake Effect’s Xcaret Nuñez talks with Wang about what inspires her poems and what’s she learned in the year-long role.
