Last term in Writing Club some of our Russley Writers worked hard to create some strong entries for The New Zealand Poetry Society Te Rōpū Toikupu o Aotearoa, an international poetry competition. They wrote ekphrastic poems (a poem inspired by or in response to an artwork). These poems were entered into the Open Junior category (17 years and younger) - so they would have had some tough competition!
We are thrilled to announce that three Russley Writers' Club students had their ekphrastic poems selected for the 2024 NZ Poetry Society anthology to be published in November.
Congratulations to:
- Leyan Abdelfadil The Red Hat
- Lucas Yee The Pearl Earring
- Henry Elkins Fanfare
I very enjoyed all of these wonderful stories and poems, especially the red hat. Leyan seems like such a beautiful, lovely girl. I hope she continues writing these delightful pieces. Thank you Leyan
