For our final Wednesday Wonder of the school year, we are highlighting the incredible work of local middle and high school students featured at our recent Hanging Lantern Review Spring Reading & Release Party.
As you may know, Hanging Lantern Review is an online literary arts/culture blog and annual print magazine showcasing the talents and ideas of young adults throughout San Luis Obispo County. It is hosted and produced by SLOCA high school students.
The 2016 Spring Reading was once again held at the enchanting Dallidet Adobe in SLO, and showcased several students reading their published works of poetry, fiction, and non-fiction. It was positively delightful and inspiring to hear students read their thoughtful, well-crafted pieces. In fact, it was often hard to believe that these were only middle school and high school students!
Today we have a few photos to share, but to read these amazing pieces you’ll need to pick up a copy of this year’s Hanging Lantern Review in the school store.
