Azura Mizan Tyabji serves as the 2018/19 Youth Poet Laureate of Seattle. As a writer, spoken word performer, facilitator, and educator, her poetry is motivated by a love for community, justice, and healing. She writes fearlessly, and with documentary precision, about the complex realities of contemporary urban life. These poems are equally suited to the page and the spoken word stage.

Sah (also known as Sarah) Pham is the first Vietnamese American Youth Poet Laureate of Seattle. Her poetry has been featured in Seattle's Child, KUOW 1340 AM radio, and the University of Washington's The Monologues. She is the founder and former host of Poemcast, a poetry podcast at The Daily. She has served as a Youth Ambassador for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, youth producer with RadioActive Youth Media, and Corbett Scholar at the University of British Columbia. She is an alumna of the University of Washington. LOVELIKE is her first full-length poetry collection. The Youth Poet Laureate is a program of Urban Word, an award-winning literary arts and youth development organization, presented nationwide in partnership with local youth arts associations and leading national arts groups, including the Academy of American Poets, Poetry Society of America, PEN Center USA, and Cave Canem.
