As the 2008-2009 school year begins, The Poetry Center has made some exciting changes. One major change is the re-launch of our web site. From there, you may access Shields' blog of student writing for the new year, and beyond.
Go here for direct access to the new blog! It's now easier than ever to find terrific poetry.
If there's no student work posted yet, be patient...we're just getting underway. Check back soon -- check back often -- and feel free to tell anyone who might be interested all about the Hands on Stanzas program.
Here's looking forward to another productive year with Shields students!
