Here is my contributionhttp://lookingforthewritewords29.blogspot.com/2011/01/poetry-friday.html, a poem about something lost and found as challenged in the Poetry Stretch at http://missrumphiuseffect.blogspot.com/2011/01/poetry-stretch-results-lost-and-found.html.<br /><br />~TheresaLooking for the Write Wordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04556736797707525140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-78435185190620779182011-01-07T16:54:12.674-06:002011-01-07T16:54:12.674-06:00I really enjoyed this poetry page. I love poetry ...I really enjoyed this poetry page. I love poetry of any kind. I could not take my eyes off of this page. I was glued here. Poetry is my favorite and I enjoyed all of your poetry and comments. I read some very interesting poems. I learn so much from everyone else. I am just so amused by the talent here. I did not believe Antologies were real. I use to get mad when I write poems and they only make into antologies than I never see them again unless I buy these expensive books that I can not afford.Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649598621394819766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-89807155154374980672011-01-07T16:32:32.751-06:002011-01-07T16:32:32.751-06:00I have The Dreamer in my TBR pile - and it's s...I have The Dreamer in my TBR pile - and it's signed by Peter Sis. NO good excuse for not having read it yet, I'm afraid. Coincidentally, I just posted a book review of Neruda's <i>Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair</i>, which is my Poetry Friday entry.

Do you know Jimenez? I always think of the two poets together--they share some imagery. "Flowers Beneath Lightning" is one my favorites of Jimenez's. <br /><br />And, so, we survived the debut year.

My daughter Sallie just finished it, and Anne is waiting in the wings to get her hands on it.<br /><br />Believe it or not, I actually had to defend it to one of their teachers because it is rated below their reading level (darn AR!!). Although sparse looking, the book is gorgeously written and conceptually sophisticated. And, the artwork is beautiful. <br /><br />I picked it up at the library, but it's one I need to buy for my shelves. <br /><br />I've heard a bit of buzz about it for the Newbery. We shall see ... <br /><br />Congrats on your ALA notice!<br /><br />sfHardygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02268385174949496800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-71998988771511829982011-01-07T09:39:14.058-06:002011-01-07T09:39:14.058-06:00Thank you for hosting today!
