ALSC Poetry Blast 6
Monday, July 13, 2009 from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
Co-hosted by: Barbara Genco and Marilyn Singer
This unique program celebrates the wonder and excitement of contemporary North American poetry for children. Ten to twelve poets, some new, some well-established, will read from their works. Information about current and forthcoming books of poetry will be available. This event is designed to be a 'drop-in' reading at the close of a long conference. Delegates will find the time spent in these readings both enlightening and energizing. Co-hosted by Barbara A Genco (Brooklyn Public Library) and Poet/Writer Marilyn Singer.
Poets include:
Carmen T. Bernier-Grand, Rebecca Kai Dotlich, David Harrison, Bobbi Katz, Laura Purdie Salas, Jon Scieszka, Joyce Sidman, Marilyn Singer, Hope Anita Smith, Susan Marie Swanson, Joyce Carol Thomas. Program subject to change.
Publishers will also offer a display of books and promotional materials featuring the participants.
