The poetry volume is already inspiring creative use. Ben David Richmond, a music director at the Maine Central Institute, an independent high school in Pittsfield, has assigned “A New Land” as source material for an opt-in competition for hundreds of students composing beat poetry and songwriting. Students will create audio interpretations of the poems.

Richmond said the diverse voices collected in the anthology resonated with him as a teacher at MCI, where “diversity and being a global citizen are key elements” of the school’s guiding philosophy.
