Happy April!
TS Eliot may have called it “the cruellest (sic) month,” but
The Center for Writing is stepping in to change that image. It’s Poetry Month,
and the students and faculty of Berkshire have sent us a comprehensive
selection of thirty poems, reflecting a variety of literary tastes and
affections, as individual as each of the contributors.
We hope you’ll enjoy this daily dose of April Poetry.
Follow this link to today’s offering, or this link to see an
archive of poems for each previous day in April.
As part of our April celebration of poetry, poets,
and all things poetic, the Center for Writing is excited to announce a reading by
poets Michael Cirelli and Lisa Starr, next Thursday night, April 7, at 7 pm.
The event will be followed by a book signing and dessert, and the poets will
work with students in their English classes over the course of the following
day. We are fortunate to have access to these poets – Cirelli is the Director
of UrbanWord in NYC, and Starr is the Poet Laureate of Rhode Island – and look
forward to seeing the myriad ways in which their time here will further develop
our students’ experience with poetry.

and all-boys prep school outside of Boston, for a 1-day mini-symposium on Student Biomedical Research. The goal was to foster collaboration, communication and community outreach with our students. AMSR students Liza Bernstein '13, Sissi Wang '13, Lars Robinson '13, Elsie Guevara '13, Ernest Yue '13, and Nate MacKenzie '14, gave short talks about their work in the new Bellas/Dixon Math and Science lecture hall. The talks were followed up by break-out sessions where Belmont Hill students described their research projects and students discussed commonalities between the projects and future goals.
