A Poetic Afternoon

At lunch in the library on March 12, 10th graders from Nate D.'s Modern World Literature class mounted a poetry showcase. Inspired by Unaccompanied (2024) by Javier Zamora, winner of the Whiting Award, students wrote poetry that either complicated the understanding of their identity or aimed to inspire change in the school community.
Extending the showcase and recognizing Women's History Month, Lala R. '28 and Amy T. '28 (pictured) also performed their spoken word poem for two voices ("There's No Way To Be a Woman of Color") at yesterday's assembly.
