18 years ago today the Old Man of the Mountain collapsed, a victim of the same forces of weathering and erosion that had created its famous profile in the first place. Did you ever visit this famous NH landmark before (or after) it fell? pic.twitter.com/aw4v3P7Pd8— New Hampshire Humanities (@NHHumanities) May 3, 2021

April is National Poetry Month, a time to recognize and celebrate the importance of poets and their poetry in our history, culture, and everyday lives. Adult English as a Second Language (ESL) students at the International Institute of New England (IINE) in Manchester have been using and writing their own poems to learn English. They also read the book Martin’s Big Words: The Life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by Doreen Rappaport as part of their ongoing Connections book discussion series.
