Wow. What a list! Thank you.
Do you know about Robyn Hood Black's Etsy shop artsyletters?

This is my kind of shopping list! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome list, Tabatha! I'm sending it to my husband - there it is, every gift to please my soul for birthdays and Chistmases to come!
Such a fabulous list -- just what I needed. Teens are sometimes very challenging to buy for. :) Thank you!
Ack -- I only have one of these teen friendly books of poetry. Must resist urge to rush to bookstore.
May I recommend adding Haikubes to your Miscellaneous list, Tabatha? My daughter and I have a great time leaving each other poems on the kitchen counter.
Tabatha, what a wonderful list you've curated. I will share with our high school history teacher/poetry guru (the one who takes the kids to the Dodge festival.) I'd also add Janet Wong's BEHIND THE WHEEL and the P*Tag ebook.
Thanks for all the time it must have taken putting this together.
[Liz - thanks so much for the shout-out! (I didn't pay her, I promise.)]
What a great collection of links! Thanks.
Wow, this is wonderful! What a great list of resources! I'm going to bookmark it for Christmas.
A wonderful compilation of poetry love! My favorite poetry cd of all times would have to be Il Postino - poems of Pablo Neruda as read by so many Hollywood Stars. I fall in love with Andy Garcia all over again whenever I listen to it. :)
I have most of the books on your list, but the T-shirts are new to me. I think I'll add some of those to my holiday wish list! Thanks!
Great list, Tabatha. I love Poem Crazy, but don't know the others. Will look for them when I can. Thank you.
I think lots of poetic Santas/gift-givers must be thanking you for this list!
