Dear Cece,
I loved how real your poem was. It shows some of the struggles many LGBTQ+ youth have to go through and because of it, I’m sure many people will be able to relate to your poem and feel not as alone. I like how you connected the topic of love from Shakespeare and turned it into something poignant and vulnerable. Because of this, my f…[Read more] -

Dear Wendy,
Your poem was amazing. I loved your metaphors of flowers because it just made your writing sound so beautiful. It shows how love can be a great thing but also has its consequences. You did a good job on connecting the topic of love to your life. My favorite lines were in your ending where you wrote,
“And like the flowers
our broken h…[Read more] -

Dear Kalani,
I love how your poem talked about the topics of love, violence, pain, and drugs because it shows how they constantly intertwine. You did a good job on connecting how Romeo and Juliet see love and how you see it. I am confident many will find it relatable. The line that stood out to me right away and made me think the most is, “The f…[Read more] -

For this poem I had to connect a topic from Shakespear to my own life. I chose to write about my mom because my topic is about love. I look forward to reading your comments!

Dear Yasmin,
I am proud of you and your shadow box because of how awesome it came out. It’s beautiful and the effort you put in it is noticeable. I also really enjoyed reading your statement. One of my favorite sections was when you explained why you didn’t include your nationality. It was relatable and cool. I also loved reading what you had to…[Read more] -

Dear Wendy,
I love how you decorated your box and I loved your reasoning behind the black rose. It was cool and I hadn’t thought about it like that before. However, I wonder how the black rose connects to your identity.I also liked reading what you wrote about your award and your hoops. Your hoops are the coolest and you look the coolest w…[Read more]

Dear Anthony,
I really like your shadow box and artist statement. I like the way you wrote it and a lot of what you said was pretty relatable. I also learned a lot about you which is cool because we don’t really talk like that. I also like the reasoning on why you included those colors on your shadow box. But, I don’t understand why you cho…[Read more] -

When people look at me, they are only seeing what the stereotypes created by the dominant narrative taught them to see. They see a young Latina who is expected to stay silent and stay down. This isn’t true which i

Dear Judith,
I really liked the books you put in your box and how you included poems. I think is amazing to have acknowledged and be grateful for your parents and the sacrifices they have made to give you a better/good life. I too do everything in the name of them to one day hope to “pay” them back for all of the work, time, money, and sacrifices they have made for my brother and me to live and thrive in the U.S.. Stereotypes will always be there but I can tell that you are a strong, young woman who will be going far in life. I like how you aren’t going to stay silent or down because of how the world wants us latinas to be. I am not a big writer, but I am a big reader and I know that you will be successful in this life and not let your race or gender identity define you. You are so much more than what you can put on paper. There will always be people and things that will try to bring you down but the fact that you are young, resilient, and aware are all qualities that are hard to break through.
Keep working hard, continue to dream big, and stay strong!

Dear Alison,
I learned a lot through looking at your shadow box and reading your artist statement. Something that stood out to me was the writing you included on the outside. I noticed that you included one of Rupi Kaur’s poem which was really cool because I love her poetry as well. Something I learned about you after reading your statement was…[Read more] -

Dear Kamyiah,
I am enlightened about your shadow box because I learned new information about you that I didn’t know before. You also have a lot of objects that have multiple representations and meanings.
One part that stands out to me is the flags you included. This stood out to me because I didn’t know you are Native American but it’s very…[Read more] -

Dear Judith
Thank you so much for sharing your poetry. A line that stood out to me was “Trying to drive out the darkness that surrounds you,
Trying to close up on you
Just like all the other borders
orbiting around you.” because it really described how Trump is separating families and taking away kids.
A connection I made to your poem was close to an movie I saw.
Your poem also reminded me of a beautiful description of a love movie.
Thank you so much for writing and I look forward to reading your next post.

Dear Judith, I think your poem is really interesting because it’s crazy to think that people have had to go through these experiences. I really like how you included a lot of metaphors into your poem as well, it’s really creative and meaningful. My favorite line was “Trying to get ahold of the world
That was taken from your hands
By hateful eyes,” because it made me think about how we really have this problem in the world right now. The hate part is also true and I like how you put in the word “eyes” because they don’t see some people as human.
Dear Judith
I am very touched by your poem, “The Universe Within Us”, because the relationship that you show in your poem of you and your mom is beautifully shown with all the metaphors that you use of the universe. One part of your poem that stands for me is where you wrote, “And the stars that decorate the universe with the light you believe I deserve to feel instead”. This stood out to me because I can tell that you really put a lot of effort into this poem. Also, I like how the title of your poem matches the poem really nicely. Another part that I stood out to me is the last six lines. This stood out to me because I think it really brings out your topic. Thanks for your poem. I look forward to what you make next because this poem was amazing.
