I'm going to school in the spring to be an English teacher because I want to change how most young adults view literature. Their poetry is so beautiful! This makes me so much more inspired to go to school. That must be an amazing experience. (: That seems like the most amazing job ever.

I have it on my to do list to see if the library will let me have kind of an open, one night a week, place where kids can just come and write and chat about writing :) I feel inspired to follow-through and to get the book you mentioned.

But it was my parents who encouraged me to write poetry - we were never fortunate enough to have good poetry teaching in public school. (And the bad news is, I still drool when I get excited.) Thanks for a truly uplifting essay. Hey, I was Ben! But it was my parents who encouraged me to write poetry – we were never fortunate enough to have good poetry teaching in public school.

It's full of great prompt ideas and actual student poems.
