Poetry is necessary; it unites the disparate parts.
I'm grateful for the opportunity to facilitate workshops and share poetry boxes with middle schoolers who attend Cedar River Middle School in Maple Valley, (Tahoma School District).
Each classroom will receive a poetry box filled with writing ideas relevant to youth.
"We need to be love-struck for humanity."--the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I heard referenced by Seattle area filmmaker Tracy Rector as she discussed her 2013 film, Reviens Moi, about two ten-year-olds who meet during the summer at Seattle Center. Though they realize their friendship will be interrupted when they return to different locations, they promise to be there for each other.
