Join us in congratulating Frej Barty, Mendocino County's new Youth Poet Laureate! A junior at Mendocino High Schools, Frej is an aspiring filmaker, cinematographer, and general multi-‐hyphenate storyteller who hates that neologism. Defined by finding and giving hope, he is an all around [self-proclaimed] nerd with a love for anything analog—from the Mendocino High School Radio Station KAKX to pinball. He says his bio just keeps shifting, though, because he is still finding a voice and a way of living. Find out more about Frej and California Poets in the Schools here: https://bit.ly/48rRsJt
