Sometimes they just need to remember than they are okay as they are, imperfect and mysterious, like any wayside bloom.

Thank you for working so hard to make sure teachers and parents know all the many reasons children (and adults) need poetry in their lives.

I'd love to keep it at school.<br /><br />I love how poetry busts genre wide open for young people. Just yesterday I shared my impression of You Can Fly: The Tuskegee Airmen by Carole Boston Weatherford, and it sparked a discussion of what to call the book. A website I came across called it "history in verse" which is not a term I've seen before.<br /><br />Can you point me in a direction for more discussions of how poetry (especially for young people) has been classified and is changing even as I type? This fascinates my inner geek librarian.<br /><br />Thanks for being a light in the poetry world and congrats on another publication.

Poetry is so much more than Shakespearean sonnets or rhyming couplets, and poets are so much more than old dead white men!Jane @ Raincity Librarianhttp://www.raincitylibrarian.canoreply@blogger.com
