http://share.triangle.com/node/17751 Comments for "Governors School poems" en http://share.triangle.com/node/17751#comment-187670 <p>Thanks for sharing these poems. I'm glad to know these students have a showcase for their work. When our daughter Corinna was in Governor's School at Salem College in 1995, she wrote a stunning poem, which I was lucky enough to be in her class as a visitor to hear. She was asked to read it again. The room was silent for a good while afterward. If only the News and Observer had been publishing Governor's School poems then! I would often read her poem at my readings in the years that followed, and my audience nearly always commented on hers and not mine.<br /> I invite readers of this blog to visit our ncarts.org site to read more student poetry, as well as my new laureate blog--ncpoetlaureate.blogspot.com, on which I'll be featuring student poetry.<br /> Kathryn Byer</p> Sun, 10 Aug 2008 09:07:52 -0400 Kathryn Stripling Byer comment 187670 at http://share.triangle.com http://share.triangle.com/node/17751 <!-- BeginContext name="blog-teaser" q="(share|communities/*)" --> Each summer, 400 students gather at Governors School East at Meredith College to study a variety of disciplines in an intense, residential setting.
