TWITTER LIST OF PEOPLE WHO WRITE POETRY FOR CHILDREN

I am away from my desk (having fun at #siba12), but I wanted to share with you the list I've populated over the past couple of weeks as I have savored The Poetry Friday Anthology compiled by Sylvia Vardell and Janet Wong.

Here's some Twitter handles for contributors to that anthology, and others. If you are not on the list and would like to be, please leave your Twitter handle in comments!

And don't forget to visit lovely Katya at Write. Sketch. Repeat. for Poetry Friday roundup!
