LOCAL STUDENT’S POETRY PUBLISHED IN NATIONAL PUBLICATION

Miss Annika Surapaneni of Oakwood Path in Warren has had her poetry entry in the National High School Poetry Contest accepted for publication. Her poem entitled “Flawed” recently appeared in the Winter edition of the American High School Poets “Inside of Me” anthology.
“Inside of Me” is a meaningful study of introspective poems written by teenagers from all over the country. It explores what goes on inside the heads of today’s teens in those quiet moments when the outside distractions are finally turned down and one is alone with one’s own thoughts. It is a quarterly publication published by the Live Poets Society of NJ in conjunction with JUST POETRY!!!, the National High School Poetry Quarterly Magazine.
Annika is the daughter of Jyotsna Nekkanti and Sekhar Surapaneni and attends Watchung Hills Regional High School under the tutelage of Language Arts instructor Mrs. Jana Battiloro. Upon graduation Annika is planning to attend Medical School.
