STUDENT POETRY NOIR

Montco Poetry Program

The mission of Student Poetry Noir is to explore the universal moments presented or "spoken" in Black-and-White films with poetry writing.

We will feature a film clip and challenge to capture in words the poetry the film clips suggest to you.

To learn more or take part in the Challenge, visit the Student Poetry Noir website: www.StudentPoetryNoir.com

 

Sample Challege from Poetry Noir:

Challenge
To use the feelings, memories, thoughts, surroundings, characters or behaviors of the film images and sounds (selected by Student Poetry Noir) to inspire your poetry writing. There are many ways of these selected films speak to us. It is your challenge to capture in words the poetry the film clips suggest to you.
