I'm beyond honored to have my poetry included in this collection. This week I shared the book with older elementary students in a school visit, and they were eager (and creative!) in drafting their own found poetry. The teacher said several wrote more poems "for fun" at home that night.Robyn Hood Blackhttp://www.robynhoodblack.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31122236.post-37483125873584604862012-04-10T12:15:27.446-05:002012-04-10T12:15:27.446-05:00I loved reading this book, discovering the many ma...I loved reading this book, discovering the many many places where the poets found their poems! Reading this book, even after having the privilege to write a poem for it, expanded my vision of found poetry. Great fun!

And Georgia, in addition to "just" compiling this book, was an excellent editor.
