Poetry at Lunch in the Library
Come to the library during lunch time. Yes, bring your lunch! Become a poet. If you're already a poet and you know it, share your stuff. Come for the fun of it or get ready to share your work at the regional Poetry Jam event. For this, Book Master Dwyer will drive you and other students on the Poetry Jam Van to the Whitney Library to share your work. You'll get a free book, poster, and your poetry will get published in an anthology. You will become a school hero! It's free, so do it . . . you just have to show up. For details, talk to Book Master Dwyer.
