Acclaimed poet Janet Wong is known for her eclectic range of
topics, and this collection is no exception. Twenty poems explore
liberty, kids' rights, free speech, political debates, unusual
presidential candidates, the two-party system, voting, the
electoral college, and more. "A Voter's Journal" appears at the end
of the book, featuring a dozen writing prompts and a discussion
guide with space for journal entries. These poems are simple enough
for a second grader to understand, yet complex enough to start
interesting discussions among people of all ages. An author's note
urges readers to "look around, read the news, talk about what's
going on in the world, vote (or encourage people to vote)-and take
the initiative to contribute, in your own best way." This is a
perfect gift for a new voter or for a classroom teacher to use
during the election season. Readers of all ages are encouraged to
post their thoughts about voting and politics at
TheDeclarationofInterdependenceBlog.blogspot.com. Here is the poem
"Liberty" Liberty I pledge acceptance of the views, so different,
that make us America To listen, to look, to think, and to learn One
people sharing the earth responsible for liberty and justice for
all.
