Poet Brian Evan-Jones
“I create a blur of color,” said one young poet.
Another student wrote, “I’m a shiny pearl, white and precious.”
“I remind you of the memories that have happened in the past,” a student wrote.
“It was as if I was saying I love you mom and dad with my eyes,” another young poet wrote.

These are some of the lines that 2nd graders at Central School in South Berwick have written as part of an artist-in-residency with poet Brian Evans-Jones. Brian is on the Maine Arts Commission Teaching Artist roster and has created a program called “Literacy Through Poetry.” The residency at Central School was made possible through a grant from the Marshwood Education Foundation.
