Write Out Loud Artistic Director, Veronica Murphy shared, “Freedom isn’t just about living in a land that is free but also having the freedom to be who you are AND who you want to be. We have curated some beautiful stories and poetry about liberty, freedom and patriotism. We are especially excited to share poems submitted to our Let Your Voice Be Heard Student Poetry program. From the provided prompt “Freedom” students have come back with some breathtaking poetic interpretations.“
This year’s Poetry Out Loud San Diego County Champion, Anoushka Majumder, will share a few of the stunning student responses.
