To celebrate National Poetry Month, both OH and OE teamed up to host Pop-Up Poetry in the Park.
The event, held at Hudson Crossing Park in downtown Oswego, featured student poetry from both OH and OE. Different poems were put up on signs; some were award-winning from the recent Literary Festival, such as poetry from OH senior Emily Chorvat.
“I was really happy with the recognition I felt my poem deserved,” Chorvat said. “I really worked hard on it and thought outside the box when writing it. I believe it’s the best poem I have written.”
Below are the poems displayed in the park, all written by OH students.
