Tributaries: Viewpoint School

Viewpoint Poetry People Elizabeth W. Writes in:

“My friends, teachers, and I still talk about your visit to Viewpoint School and how special it was. I wanted to drop you a quick note to tell you what my poetry club, Poetry People has been up to since we last spoke. I initiated and directed a spoken word show featuring eight of Poetry People\’s poets, entitled “All the Girls in the World.” We performed it on National Women’s Day in October for middle and upper school, and have done a few service learning performances in Pasadena. In January, we filmed the production, and are in the process of making a website where girls all over the world can post their poems. I have posted the link below and would love to hear your feedback!”

I love when schools continue to expand their spoken word poetry community after a visit from Project VOICE. Big kudos to Elizabeth and the whole gang for putting this together. Click the image above to watch their video.

Macaronics and Cheese: March 5, 2013

Columbus, OH.
I know what you’re thinking. “But Sarah, you don’t
condone posting food photos!” It’s true. But remember
how I found Jeni’s ice cream in Tennessee and discovered
it was the greatest ice cream in the country? Well the
original location is in Columbus. And if there’s one type
of pilgrimage I believe in, it’s a food pilgrimage. Every time
I go to Portland, the first place I go is Voodoo Donuts.
Every time I go to San Francisco, it’s straight to Tartine.
Now you can add Jeni’s to the list. So what if there was
a blizzard going on? That Pear Riesling Sorbet was worth it.
