Ground Shakes Furiously

During the summer of 2021, after an exceptionally unusual school year when our relationship to the world outside our doors shifted almost daily, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade students from Gotham Professional Arts Academy took to Prospect Park to observe the outdoors in our urban setting and explore storytelling using what they saw—trees, nature, the oddities of human behavior—and what they saw to be lurking beneath the surface: danger, disaster, and intrigue at every turn.  *GROUND SHAKES FURIOUSLY* is a compilation of the original work of these students. Proceeds from the sale of this book benefit 826NYC, a nonprofit organization encouraging the exploration of endless possibilities through the power of writing. This book is also available as a downloadable interactive PDF.
