This excerpt from a group poem composed in our hig This excerpt from a group poem composed in our high school writing workshop will be featured on the marquee at the Center Theatre in Dover Foxcroft through May 3 as part of their Keep in Touch campaign.

Our programs for high school students aren't takin Our programs for high school students aren't taking place now, but you can see what great work our students have done! Here's a video of Meagan Whitten reading one of her poems. Poet Dawn Potter @dawnlorrainepotter who has been teaching this program writes, "Meagan is a senior at Nokomis Regional High School in Newport, Maine, and she plans to attend Unity College in the fall. When Meagan arrived in our Monson Arts class, she already had a strong background in poetry, and she continued to work hard on her craft throughout the year. But she also surprised herself by turning to prose, especially the personal essay. Much of her writing, both poems and prose, focuses on her own rural landscape and the people she loves. In this poem, she shows how writing about the familiar still gives us space to imagine and invent, and to sympathetically inhabit lives that are not our own"
