It took Norwell High School senior Rose E. Hansen more than 90 tries to record three poems for this yearâs Poetry Out Loud national competition.
Hansen is more accustomed to live performance: the tension-filled air backstage, the endless weeks of practice followed by the adrenaline rush of a single show and that wave of applause.
But this year, the event is virtual â which means the stage was shifted to Hansenâs bedroom. And the only live audience member was herself, staring back from her iPhone camera.
