Ripple Effect 2011-2012

Welcome Nashua High School poets! You're about to add a few more "ripples" to the Ripple Effect Project. This year's theme is "the outsider and we'll be examining the notion of what it means to be an outsider in any of its many forms. We'll be reading poems and stories on that theme, taking a field trip to the hometown of Jack Kerouac, one of the founders of the Beat movement, and talking with composer Ted Mann. We'll write our own poems which will be collected in a book, will be illustrated by NHS artists, and will be used as elements of an original choral composition performed in 2012 by the Nashua Symphony Orchestra and Chorus and the NHS Chorus.

We'll use the Word Tennis blog to post drafts of our poems-in-progress and share our thoughts and comments. Welcome!
