The Color Beige - A Poem by Sydney Anderson


This summer Sydney was chosen to participate in the Richard Hugo House's summer middle school writers camp. The program is called Scribes. After two weeks of work, the participants were each asked to share a piece of their writing at a reading in front of Hugo House staff, their peers, and invited family and friends. Sydney decided to read her poem, The Color Beige.


The staff were so impressed that she was invited back to read the same poem at their monthly open mike reading for high school and older youth.


We are very proud of Sydney. She continues to write and, we hope, will continue to share her work. We filmed her first reading and want to share it with you here.
