Poetry People

Dr. Sylvia Vardell's new children's poetry reference book provides a comprehensive introduction to more than 60 contemporary young people's poets. Focusing primarily on those who are still actively writing today, the author includes poets appropriate for young children through young adults. There is one entry for each poet featuring brief biographical information, highlighting selected poetry books they've authored, showcasing any awards won, noting related web sites, and providing suggestions for making connections (programming ideas, related books and activities).

Sylvia M. Vardell is currently Professor at Texas Woman's University in the School of Library and Information Studies.
