Student Writing
Since the founding of WITS in 1994, our writers-in-residence have been lucky to work with thousands of students in the Puget Sound region. We showcase our students’ talents every chance we get: on stage before our Literary/Arts Series lectures and Poetry Series readings; at our year-end reading and celebration; in program-wide collections and classroom anthologies; in local coffee shops and libraries; even on bookmarks, buttons, and t-shirts. Please enjoy this sampling of student stories and voices. And find more on our WITS blog!
WITS needs your help. Donate today to bring the power and pleasure of language to Puget Sound students.

The Softest Word
The softest word is leaf
it zigzags
in the air and
falls on the yellow ground
“I loved having a full period to write, and I loved being taught by a professional writer; it made me feel like my writing was important.”
—6th grade student, McClure Middle School
