2020 ¥ Verse

“I enjoyed learning about poets who I was unfamiliar with. It felt like as a teacher, I was celebrating a multi-generation of poets. An incredible array of poets with a specific focus on activism and social justice.” —Participant from 2019

As we approach April 1, we are getting very excited about ¥ Poetry Month! Here at ¥, we are also gearing up for the third year of ¥ Verse. The ¥ Verse email series is a members-only professional learning opportunity. Folks who sign up will receive an email each weekday, starting March 30, that focuses on a poet and shares resources for how to bring that poet’s works into the classroom.

And the best part of this year’s series? ¥ members have again selected the poets they’re teaching in their classrooms and curated the resources!

We’ll be celebrating more than 20 poets, the majority of them contemporary and up-and-coming. You can see the awesome work of our members from the 2019 edition of ¥ Verse.

today!
