A poem written by Herricks High School student Sabah Iqbal will be published in The Apprentice Writer, a collection of poems, stories and essays. The publication is edited and produced in part by Susquehanna University writing students and features the works of talented high school students from across the nation.
Sabah’s poem is titled “Adultery” and was inspired by The Scarlet Letter. The piece is among only 60 that were selected for publication out of more than 3,000 submissions received by the publication.
Sabah, a member of the high school’s English Scholars Program, will receive a copy of the issue in August, and another copy will be sent to the school in September for possible classroom use.
