The Renaissance, Kellenberg’s literary magazine, held its first poetry read-around of the year on Friday, January 20th. The Renaissance hosted a few of these last year.
The poetry read-around gave us an opportunity to “expand the club and not just post the creative work of students at Kellenberg but also foster the arts at Kellenberg,” explains Mr. Landers.
Mr. Landers and Mr. Flood, who hosted this event, are the moderators of the digital publication.
At the read-around, students read poems that they wrote, as well as some of their favorite famous poems.
This event was greatly enjoyed by high school students here at Kellenberg who have a passion for poetry.
In addition to read-arounds, the Renaissance sponsors monthly “Challenges”, in which themes are presented for artists and writers to address. Works submitted for the Challenges are viewed by Renaissance student staff, and the winning submission is posted to the site.
On a weekly basis, the poetry, pros, art, and photography are posted to www.Kellenberg.org/Phoenix/
Any students interested in submitting should email their work to Renissance@kellenberg.org and feel free to see Mr. Flood with any questions.
