Episode 14 Celebrate Poetry!
In honor of Poetry Month, our team discusses favorite poems from childhood; the agony of poetry on the MAP tests; great media specialists and a favorite English teacher; and the joys of fan fiction. Discover more great reading recommendations from a poetic manga to a basketball novel-in-verse and enjoy recitations of a few of our favorite poems, including a special recitation from Poetry Out Loud participant, Rohan, as he recites his powerful poem, "So Tell Me Again."
