| Abstract: | Spotlighting a variety of venerable poets, as well as some rising stars, this book is the second series of conversations about the lives and works of poets who write mainly for children and young people. The book presents informal interviews with the writers about their childhoods, the influences upon their work, their writing processes, how they would like to see their work introduced to youngsters, and what suggestions they have for young poetry writers. The 20 poets interviewed in the book are: J. Patrick Lewis, Marilyn Singer, Cynthia Rylant, Paul Fleischman, Brod Bagert, Lillian Morrison, Ashley Bryan, Jane Yolen, Luis J. Rodriguez, Deborah Chandra, Paul Janeczko, Michael Spooner, Constance Levy, Nikki Giovanni, Patricia Hubbell, Victor Martinez, Lucille Clifton, Maxine Kumin, Judith Thurman, and Nancy White Carlstrom. Each interview is preceded by a very brief overview of the poet's life and work. (NKA) |
