Adam Boaz, English Faculty and Grade Dean Grade 11, teaches a senior elective "Understanding, Appreciating, and Creating Poetry." The students and Mr. Boaz invite you to watch the video they produced of their poetry reading. Mr. Boaz describes the class, sharing "it is thrilling to read and discuss the works of contemporary poets with [my students], watch them learn the craft and techniques that professional poets use, and then apply what they have learned to their own creative process." Sydney Fishkin '21 reflects, "I really liked the poetry process. It allows you to express yourself without directly telling people what you are really talking about. It was very freeing.” Classmate Ian Marsh '21 adds, “I really enjoyed making poems in this class, and I was always satisfied with the results. It was a way to be open about myself in a way I never thought I could.”
