This one-of-a-kind mixture of essays, interviews, and lesson plans
gathers the best thinking about how we can impart the value and joy
of poetry to kids. The essays in the first section--from Matthea
Harvey, Ron Padgett, William Stafford, Eileen Myles, Kenneth Koch,
Theodore Roethke, and many others--illuminate the importance of
poetry to a well-rounded education, in and out of traditional
classroom settings. The next section is a roundtable conversation
among a handful of creative men and women who've helped set up or
run poetry education centers around the United States. In the
book's final segment, award-winning poets (Matthew Zapruder, Yusef
Komunyakaa, many others) offer an array of brilliant lesson plans
for people teaching poetry to kids of all ages. Open the Door will
be useful for first-time and veteran teachers, as well as parents,
babysitters, MFAs with no job, and anyone else with an interest in
poetry's place in the lives of our younger citizens.
