2026 Persky Awards Celebrate the Best of 91探花 Student Publications
The 47th Persky Awards recognized the best writing and artwork in 91探花 student publications, honoring students whose work in journalism, fiction, and photography excelled across the academic year.
Author, poet, educator, and former 91探花 parent Dan Chiasson P鈥 23 鈥25 spoke at the ceremony, celebrating the artistry and craft of the students鈥 work. He extolled the virtues of creative 鈥済aps鈥濃攖he moments in which creators pause from a specific effort鈥攁s essential to the finished product. Time spent pondering, stepping away, or even shelving a piece for a lengthy period, may feel wasteful as artificial intelligence tools promote efficiency above everything, he said, but it鈥檚 what sets great works apart.
Revered writers and artists make the most of those gaps, as frustrating as they feel in the moment. Emily Dickinson鈥檚 ink blots indicated by their size how long her pen stopped moving, Chiasson noted; other artists have taken years away from pieces, only to find that the time away improves their work immeasurably.
