English Teacher Shines as Published Poet

As Upper School English teacher Pete Follansbee instructs students in reading and writing throughout the year, he has remained prolific with own writing.
He recently had a poem accepted for publication in the online Atticus Review; three of his haikus will soon be published in a small volume called Everyday Haiku, and as a result of being named a finalist in The New Guard Literary Review's Knightsville Poetry Contest, his poem "Rug" will be published in mid-2017.
Mr. Follansbee's writing also has garnered him an opportunity to serve as a Teaching Assistant next June to one of the nationally known poets for The Writer's Hotel, a week-long conference and writers workshop that takes place every summer in New York City. Congrats, Mr. Follansbee!
