Every year, WITS hires writers to teach semester-long residencies at Portland high schools. At the end of each residency, WITS holds readings for each school in cafes and bookstores in their communities. At Franklin High School, students from Anna York’s, Dana Vigner’s, Aimee Jo’s and Harris Ambinder’s classes worked with WITS writers James Gendron and Evan Williams.
All readings are free and open to the public; please join us in celebrating these young writers’ work!
