The annual Gathering of Poets and Writers is a NESA Creative Writing hosted show that features short works from both poets from the San Antonio community and poets from local schools. The pieces here were our editors’ top picks from our multi-school writing competition, where we recieved many exceptional pieces from Tex Hill, Lopez, and International School of the Americas. Some pieces were performed live at our Gathering of Poets and Writers, and others only appear here. Thank you to everyone who participated in this competition.
