One of the great benefits of having connected schools is that educators can give students the opportunity to see and hear poets reading their own work. We get to hear the inflections and the emotion that is intended by the poet and that gives poetry its meaning, but that can be so easily lost on the printed page.
The folks at PBS have a good collection of videos of poets reading... oh yeah, Garrison Keillor narrates!
