Congratulations are extended to Eva Mazur for her two poems selected to be published in the Young Writers Project of the Burlington Free Press. Her first piece appeared in the June 18 issue, and it was titled “School.” In it Eva reflects on the past school year that was unlike any previous one and a year that “no kid will forget.” It was the “year every kid was affected in some way by the pandemic.”

Her second poem appeared the following week and was titled “Believe in what you write!” She begins by saying “It’s hard trying to put all your thoughts onto a blank piece of paper.” She says her writing will be judged and criticized by its readers. However, what she says on the page are her thoughts and ideas, and the writer must “believe in what she writes!”

Sympathy
is extended to family and friends of Shawn C. Coyle who died peacefully on June 19 at the McClure Miller Respite House in Colchester, VT. His surviving family includes his wife, Tricia Coyle, of Charlotte.
