Sky After PoemingPhoto by Amy LV
Students - Can you believe that I took the above sky photograph just moments after writing this poem? Well, I did! This week has been so beautiful, so summery in Western New York.
Today's poem leans on the meter of the 1936 song "Dona Nobis Pacem" ("Grant Us Peace" in Latin). If you listen to the recording above, you will hear me read the poem and then sing i Read more of this blog post »

“It is really hard to be lonely very long in a world of words. Even if you don't have friends somewhere, you still have language, and it will find you and wrap its little syllables around you and suddenly there will be a story to live in.”

“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.
Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”

Love, love, LOVE, Amy's poetry. Love her way of "dressing up" some ordinary things from nature around her and things from everyday life into such beautiful language figures so that almost every line creates a picture in readers' minds. Happy about the new books that are coming up next year. I would be delighted to have the new treasure, Amy's book POEMS ARE TEACHERS.
