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!
