Title: The Poetry of US
Author: J. Patrick Lewis
Photos: National Geographic Kids
Publisher: National Geographic Kids
ISBN:  9781426331855

Review:

America has a large and diverse population. There are many cultures, languages and religions that make this country a popular place to find freedom and live the American  dream. In this guide readers can enjoy poems set into motion by our history, scenery and the peoples stretched across this great land. Stunning photos capture the beauty that is America.

Readers will be taken on a trip across the country starting from New England all the way to the Territories which cover Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam and a few others. If you didn’t know all of the words to America the Beautiful they can be found here. A poem for protests in Boston for equal rights from years past is expressed. In the Southeast a poem acknowledges the Ninth Ward after Hurricane Katrina. In the Rocky Mountain West a poem speaks to the Continental Divide and Yellowstone National Park.

J. Patrick Lewis was the former U.S. Children’s Poet Laureate. His review of these many poems targeted towards children and honoring and remembering Americas lands and history, as well as providing insight to the cultures, peoples and way of life. Parents and teachers can discuss with kids where they would most like to visit in the United States, share insight about their heritage and so much more.

  11. I belong to 2 poetry workshops and like to read and write poetry. Usually in poetry, the least amount of words to get the emotion or nuance understood the better. It helps the poem become tighter and more readable.
