* In celebration of National Poetry Month, the Medical Center of Lewisville Grand Theater and the Lewisville
Public Library will hold a reception for Lewisville’s first Poet Laureate and two Lewisville ISD student poets
on Wednesday, April 27. This event will take place at the MCL Grand, 100 N. Charles Street, 6:30-8 p.m.,
and will feature readings and recitations from J. Paul Holcomb, Madison Heggins and Destinee Aguirre.
J. Paul Holcomb has served as Lewisville’s first Poet Laureate since August 2014. He has published more
than 230 original works in multiple journals and anthologies nationwide and in England during his
illustrious career, and received several awards including the 1997 Lucidity Chapbook Book Award from Bear
House Publishing, the Poetry Society of Texas’ Hilton Ross Greer Outstanding Service Award, the 2004
Edwin M. Eakin Memorial Book Publication Award, and the featured State Poet at the 2013 Austin
International Poetry Festival.
Madison Heggins gained statewide recognition earlier this year when she won the 2016 Poetry Out Loud
competition in Austin. The 18-year-old Lewisville High School senior beat out 25 other Texas high school
students to claim the title and earn the chance to represent Texas at the national competition in Washington,
D.C. in early May.
Destinee Aguirre was a top-10 finalist in the same Poetry Out Loud competition. Aguirre is a sophomore at
LHS Killough Campus.
National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation started the Poetry Out Loud competition in
2006. Students in the competition present three memorized poems from the Poetry Out Loud anthology.
One must be 25 lines or fewer, one must be written before the 20th century and a third was student’s choice.
Heggins chose “Richard Cory” by Edwin Arlington Robinson, “Self- Help” by Michael Ryan and “Black Boys
Play the Classics” by Tori Derricotte. Aguirre chose “Spanglish” by Tato Laviera, “A Poison Tree” by Robert
Blake and “Weighing In” by Rhina P. Espaillat.
This was the first year LHS participated in the Poetry Out Loud competition. Heggins’ victory secured $500
for her school to buy poetry books and materials. Aguirre and Heggins will be acknowledged for their
achievements at the MCL Grand event.
Other poets have been invited to read their work aloud at the April 27 event. Staff from the Lewisville Public
Library will be in attendance at the MCL Grand to check out books to those who are inspired to read more
poetry. They also will issue new library cards to those who have not yet signed up.
