Charlotte Soliven
Youth Poetry Fellow
Charlotte (Lottie) Soliven is a junior at Liberty High School who grew up believing she could change the world. In her sixteen years of living, she has done just that by fearlessly breaking Asian stereotypes with her inability to do basic mental math and her European-sounding name. Her other talents include being the lead singer in the band PB and Jellyfish, crying in public, winning plushies from claw machines, being the only cheerleader who can’t cartwheel and relentlessly insisting that poetry is cool to the kids at Camp Yesler and her high school peers.
