Original poems by Corry Area High School students came to life in Corry City Park this weekend as part of the Rain Poetry project “Finding the Light,” supported by PA Humanities.
Using a special water-activated solution, the poems appear like magic on sidewalks when wet. During the community reveal, students read their work aloud and watched their words celebrated as a public art installation.
The students shared that the program gave them an opportunity to be creative, build confidence, grow, and share their talents and perspectives. It also helped them form bonds with classmates and the broader community.
PA Humanities Executive Director Laurie Zierer and board member Aaysha Noor were also glad to join the community for the reveal.
Congratulations to the student poets and to @corryhied, Corry Area School District, @impact_corry, @corrychamber, and @erieartsculture for helping bring Rain Poetry to life in Corry.
Shout out to @mabel.wordartist for all the inspiration and joy she brought to this project!
