Three
students win Poetry Out Loud Competition
The judges--Mira Ordon, Tom Elliott, and Tom Reiter--chose these finalists to represent Duanesburg at the regional competition at the New York State Museum in Albany on 8 February.
Jones recited "Blessing" by James Wright and "Listening" by Jean Valentine; Morrison recited "It was not Death, for I stood up," by Emily Dickinson and "A Red, Red Rose," by Robert Burns; and Schwartz recited "A Black Man Talks of Reaping" by Arna Bontemps and "Four Portraits of Fire" by Lorna Dee Cervantes.
Kudos also go to the other poetry competition participants: Chelsea Arndell, Sarah Campell, Sarah Senecal, Angelica Cadwell, Eric Williams and Maddy Kenyon.
