In celebration of National Poetry Month, the Library hosted its ninth annual Poetry Evening. Students from all divisions, parents, faculty and friends gathered together to share their favorite poems.Fourth graders read selections from "A Tree of Many Leaves", a collection of poems they wrote during a recent eight-week poetry residency.
Elizabeth Bishop, Langston Hughes, Billy Collins, Walt Whitman, Julianna Baggott and Federico García Lorca were among the chosen poets whose work was read aloud.
Featured poets this year were students from the Middle and Upper School who all read original poetry, thrilling listeners with their poetic skills and unique poetic voices.
All in all, a remarkably satisfying and enjoyable evening.
