Chatham Statement Draft 1:57p

Sheryl St. Germain's memoir Swamp Songs is an excellent example of the pride of place. No matter what your neighborhood looks like, it indelibly imprints upon a person's perceptions, beliefs, prejudices. In Senior Portfolio, Professor Robin Metz assigned Swamp Songs to be read in conjunction with students writing their authorial autobiography. One of his famous lines is, "Everywhere is the center of the world. No matter where you come from, or how unimportant, boring it may seem to you, it's the center of the world."
