Karyn Smith asked two english classes to participate. The works represented here are finished pieces by students who gave the Museum permission to post their writing on the "It's for you" blog. Three of the creative writing students wrote fiction and poetry works that are inspired by Adam McEwen's text message works (Peart, Swanson, Zanowiak). David Weidenfeller wrote a non-fiction work about his experience with Pietro Pellini's "Al Hansen on My Telephone." In his fantastical narrative, Michael Verone creates a story that could be seen as an allegory for the surprises that sometimes accompany a museum experience.
Works by Smith's other class will be added when they are available...
