Inspiring Young Poets Take Center Stage

From identity and ancestry to faith, love, and growing up, poetry offers a beautiful window into our eighth graders’ inner lives. Their poetry is often in conversation with Langston Hughes’ “Theme for English B” and its invitation to seek truth: 

Go home and write                            
a page tonight.                                  
And let that page come out of you—  
Then, it will be true.
