Eastern Shore Literacy Association (ESLA) is thrilled to announce that the highly anticipated SoMLA High School Anthology is now available! This remarkable collection showcases the incredible talent and creativity of our local students who placed in the top two in their respective categories at the state level. ESLA couldn’t be prouder to present their work to the world.

Featuring the exceptional writings of some extraordinary young minds, this anthology is a testament to the power of imagination and the beauty of storytelling. Each piece is a unique expression of the author’s perspective, inviting readers on a journey through captivating narratives, thought-provoking poetry, and engaging essays.

Let’s give a round of applause to the talented contributors who made this anthology possible: Kathryn Miller-Vail (Stephen Decatur HS), Abbi Weeks (Stephen Decatur HS), Jessica Beck (Stephen Decatur HS), Sophia Bailey (Parkside HS), Ava Baer (Mardela Middle & HS), and Arlenni Rodriguez-Carpio (Stephen Decatur HS)! Their dedication, passion, and literary prowess shine through every word they’ve crafted.
