I am on maternity leave right now, but taught grade 3 for nine years prior to this. My bookshelves were packed with amazing books, but always felt like they lacked good poetry. I really appreciate this post and look forward to more! I should have a great poetry section when I go back next year!

Those first and last Silverstein poems.<br /><br />I'm always ambivalent about posthumous publications; all too often it's a son or daughter or estate without the express consent of the author - but in this case, it seems to be a seamless fit, just "more Shel," period. Which is wonderful.tanita✿davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.com
