Tonight on the Front Porch, we're re-living the high school experience. Teacher Nathan Graziano has a new book of poetry that puts all the usual high school caricatures under the microscope, from the popular jocks to the dazed stoners to the overly nostalgic lit instructors. His book, Teaching Metaphors, tries to go "beyond the lesson plans…to probe the humanity of the modern high school." He'll share some of his work with us, and we'll hear an assortment of stories from the hallowed halls.
