Aleah Dye of Norman Ridge Road near Big Bend has had her poetry entry in the National High School Poetry Contest accepted for publication.
The poem entitled, "Submerse" will appear in the Winter edition of the American High School Poets "Inside of Me" anthology.
"Inside of Me" is a meaningful study of introspective poems written by teenagers from all over the country.
It explores what goes on inside the heads of today's teens in those quiet moments when the outside distractions are finally turned down and one is alone with one's own thoughts.
It is scheduled for publication in Mid-December and is published by the Live Poets Society of NJ in conjunction with JUST POETRY, the National High School Poetry Quarterly Magazine.
Aleah's parents say she is an avid reader and constantly writes creative stories and poems.
She is the daughter of Angela and Patrick Dye and attends Calhoun Middle/High School under the tutelage of language arts instructor, Mr. Jeremy Johnson.
Aleah plans to go to Law School (preferably Harvard).
