What’s In Your Pocket?
In honor of National Poetry Month, Grace Church celebrated literacy with Poem-In-Your-Pocket Day! Lots of students and faculty had their favorite poems in their pockets, and some even traded poems multiple times.
Abby G. ’26 was carrying Shel Silverstein’s “Hug-O-War.” “I used to do Poem-In-Your-Pocket at my old school, Packer,” Abby said. “I always choose this poem because I love it so much.”
Mr. Loverude was carrying Michael McFee’s “Another Sign Off.” “I like a poem that’s a diatribe,” he said. Diatribe is a fancy word for rant.
Ms. Golden had Edna St. Vincent Millay’s poem “Well, I have lost you.” Ms. Golden was reading the applications to Senior Seminar in literature, and one student referenced this poem. “I read it, and it was like a punch to the gut,” she said.
Lucy R. ’27 had an excerpt of Walt Whitman’s “A Song of Myself.” “It really speaks to me,” she said.
Theo K. ’27 has traded poems at least 2 times.
