Booktalk: I have an acrostic poem (shown below) in What Is a Family?, a middle grade anthology from Pomelo Books about all kinds of families.
Snippet:
Like What Is a Friend? (last year’s middle grade poetry anthology from Pomelo Books) all of the poems in this anthology were also ekphrastic poems, poems inspired by art. When I saw this photo, it reminded me of the tutoring I did at home (and in the neighborhood) when I was in high school, sitting at a kitchen table just like the one in this photo. Now after teaching elementary school, middle school, and college, I’ve come full circle and am working one-to-one again. Only this time, I’m sitting at a table with a laptop using Zoom talking to writers across the continent (and around the world) about their books. (Who could have imagined that? Not me!)
