I'm so happy to be in this collection of poems!
The Poetry Friday Anthology: Poems for the School Year with Connections to the Common Core
compiled by Sylvia Vardell and Janet Wong
Pomelo Books, 2012 -- official release date September 1
Here are 218 unpublished poems by 75 poets. There are 36 poems for each grade level, K-5 -- one for each week of the school year. 5 tips are included for every poem as a theme each week links all the grade levels together.
Teachers, poets, readers of poetry, check this work out! e-versions will be up in September. Sweet!
That. Is. FANTASTIC! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteAh, thanks, LW!
ReplyDeleteLorie Ann, thanks for the plug-- and for your terrific poems in the book too. Your poem, "Waiting," is one of my favorites-- and kids will love the word GLOOP!
ReplyDeleteLorie Ann, thanks for your poems, your post today, and for letting everyone know that e-book versions will be available for Kindles and iPads (and computers) on Sept 1st.
ReplyDeleteRight now the book is available only in paperback--but paper is best for browsing back and forth from one theme (or grade) to another.
E-books are terrific when you use your computer with a projector; you can project any page of the book onto a large screen and the whole class can see a poem at the same time. And a teacher could use the Search function in the e-book to type in GLOOP and find your art poem!
Congratulations! I just learned about this book from another Poetry Friday post and am looking forward to seeing it...and your poem...in print!
ReplyDeleteI'm proud that one of my poems lives in the same book as yours!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteThat's one of my dreams...to get at least one of my poem out there...
Congrats! Like Mary Lee, I'm happy to share the pages with you. What a terrific resource!
