Year Title
2025 Poet Laureate of West Hollywood, CA

 

In partnership with Bravo Medical Magnet High School, Jen Cheng will teach Feng Shui Poetry in the Parks, a project to empower teen students to celebrate joy and care for the environment through poetry. With field trips to local parks and gardens, students will write poetry enriched by education about ecosystems and native plants. The curriculum will offer students wellness tools through the Feng Shui Five Elements as well as the opportunity to create and publish their poetry as a group zine to be distributed throughout Los Angeles County. These youth poets will have a group performance and zine launch party to celebrate their work with their peers and local community.
