I'm a new subscriber to this listserv, and what fun it has been so far! Just wanted to share with you a poet I heard today at the NC Reading Association Conference. Brod Bagert (that's right, it's not Brad) believes strongly that poetry must be performed to be enjoyed. He's a former trial lawyer and New Orleans city councilman who now spends his life visiting school children and performing poetry. I'd never heard of him before, but he was great! Some of his books of poetry are If Only I Could Fly, Let Me Be the Boss, Chicken Socks, and Elephant Games. Find them in time for Natl Poetry Month. And if you ever have a chance to hear him speak, go for it. Diane Averett Creedmoor Elementary School Creedmoor, NC
