ReplyDeleteDo you know about Robyn Hood Black's Etsy shop artsyletters?

This is my kind of shopping list! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAwesome list, Tabatha! I'm sending it to my husband - there it is, every gift to please my soul for birthdays and Chistmases to come!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fabulous list -- just what I needed. Teens are sometimes very challenging to buy for. :) Thank you!
ReplyDeleteAck -- I only have one of these teen friendly books of poetry. Must resist urge to rush to bookstore.
ReplyDeleteMay 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.
ReplyDeleteThanks 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.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is wonderful! What a great list of resources! I'm going to bookmark it for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteA 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. :)
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteGreat list, Tabatha. I love Poem Crazy, but don't know the others. Will look for them when I can. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI think lots of poetic Santas/gift-givers must be thanking you for this list!
