“If we're going to solve the problems of the world, we have to learn how to talk to one another. Poetry is the language at its essence. It's the bones and the skeleton of the language. It teaches you, if nothing else, how to choose your words.”

Hi,
New to jacketflap as of minutes ago. I have created several poetry collections (on the copy machine :) for my students. I love teaching poetry. I wish I could do it more often. I'll check back when I can! I'm learning my way around blogs and the web.
