Billy Collins Live!

Who is Billy Collins? He is a contemporary poet and former poet laureate (2001-2003) who has made it a goal to help kids rediscover poetry. This year's annual National Writing Project Meeting featured him as a speaker, and he was great! I bought two of his books and got him to sign one for my students!
Connie Farrell, Dr. Carolyn Boiarsky, and I. We all work together at the writing project.
