A Feast of Children's Poetry
On Saturday, the Poetry Society of Virginia hosted an inspirational workshop and talk in Williamsburg for both writers and readers of children's poetry. Shirley Sellers, President of the Poetry Society, presented the "how to" workshop. Noreen Bernstein, Director of Youth Services at the Williamsburg Regional Library, introduced participants to a wide range of poetry for children.
Poet Stu Nottingham reads a poem he wrote during the workshop.
Kids, next time you are in the library give yourself a treat and indulge in reading a poetry book. I find it hard to imagine a kid that wouldn't like Ronald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes.
