Annie Wright of the Poets House will pay a special visit to the 1st grade on Friday, March 30th at 10:00 AM. The children of 1B, who have been writing their own poems, were recently raptly attentive during a poetry reading by Ms. Wright held at the Poets House. A big thanks to Margaret Ng for arranging this great in-school follow-up!
For parents looking for FREE spring-break activities, the Poets House's next Poetry for Children program will be "Once Around the Sun and Other Travels," with Bobbi Katz, Saturday, April 7 at 11:00 AM. Bobbi Katz, the author of "A Rumpus of Rhymes: A Book of Noisy Poems" and editor of the award-winning Pocket Poems, will read from her latest book, "Once Around the Sun," and serve as a travel guide as kids write and share their own verse-voyages.
If you would like to get into the spirit this April of National Poetry Month, sign up for Knopf's free Poem-A-Day podcast. Each weekday you'll hear a poem being read by Knopf authors such as Joan Didion, John Updike and Toni Morrison.
Grandma tells you how each spring
she falls in love with the world
all over again—
and you understand.
—BOBBI KATZ
