Are you the next Hays County Youth Poet Laureate?

Providing a once in a lifetime opportunity for the young poets of Hays County is the goal of two recent graduates of Texas State University.

Juania Sueños said that a publishing house and nonprofit, Infrarrealista Review, was founded by her and Cloud D. Carona in 2020. Both Chicanxs, each received their master of fine arts degrees and decided it was time to take their knowledge and desire to improve opportunities for underrepresented teens in a literary direction.

Specifically, the Hays County Youth Poet Laureate program they are starting will be rooted in San Marcos, and Kyle, and will promote literacy through poetry.
