Notes:
From Eileen Spinelli's many goodbyes to summer at the shore, to Avis Harley's catalog of ways to say hello across the globe, to a close look at the birds and animals outside Valiska Gregory's window in winter…Georgia Heard has collected list poems from contemporary poets. Each list is gathered with a poet's eye - carefully selected details beautifully presented - so that readers see the extraordinary in the ordinary. And so readers are encouraged to be writers. The simplicity of each poem and Georgia Heard's introduction will inspire young poets to write their own Restricted to use by people with documented print impairment Produced by the National Network for Equitable Library Service (NNELS) Narrator: Jacqui Bishop Vancouver, B.C. : BC Libraries Cooperative, 2015 New York : Roaring Brook Press, 2009 Original version : 47 pages ; 14 x 27 cm. 9781596432208 1596432209
