I hope to see you at your school or organization soon. Warmest regards, Michael Many schools make author visits an auspicious occasion. My heart is warmed when students and teachers prepare similar work. There's nothing more invigorating the energy of the elementary classroom. Young poets are so eager for feedback on their work.
Poetry excites young learners in a way no other kind of language can.
The kids love the idea that they are meeting and getting the autograph of the same person who's picture and name are on the book jacket. There's nothing quite like a Boyds Mills Press author party. The New Jersey City University family engages me with other authors who educate and inspire. The other face that appears in both photos is NJCU president, Carlos Hernandez. All content Michael R.
