Write
On!
Brooklyn Friends School has three literary journals in which the
creative writing of students from every division is represented.
Expressing oneself through writing begins early at Brooklyn Friends,
with children in the family center and preschool classes collaborating
on poems for Write Now, the poetry anthology of the preschool
and lower school. As children progress through the lower school
grades, their writing becomes more sophisticated. In this year’s Write
Now, for example, a fourth grade class wrote odes to everyday
things in the style of Chilean poet Pablo Neruda
Scribe, the middle school’s literary magazine,
is edited by students in the eighth grade creative writing class
and welcomes submissions from students in all grades. Wordflirt,
the upper school magazine, has an editorial staff that meets regularly
during and after school hours. Both Scribe and Wordflirt present
poetry, short stories, and other writing styles as well as student
artwork. PDF files of this year's literary journals are now online
on the publications page.
To request a printed copy of any or all of these student publications,
send an e-mail to info [at] brooklyn friends [dot]org.
from Write Now:
Summer Has Come
Flowing, flapping water
Sailors sitting softly
Shiny sun in the summer
Chocolate melting
Kids licking ice cream
Summer has come at last!
