“Too dark before dawn to see them, but out there
are lakes of pale silvery starlight, from one shore
to another, not the tick of one cricket to warn us
of how thin the cracked ice is over the future.” —excerpt from “First Frost over Harvested Fields” by Ted Kooser
The Twelfth Annual Narrative High School Writing Contest details are coming on Wednesday!
Follow us to stay tuned.
“I like the names of all your plants: purple haze, skywalker, blue dream, northern lights. ‘How do the ducks know where to go?’ I reach over you to the bed stand for my glass, lured by your scent, intoxicating as wine.” —excerpt from “Hunters” by Ola Szczecinska
