Favorite
Poem Project
"Reading
a poem silently instead of saying a poem is like the difference between
staring at sheet music and actually humming or playing the music on an
instrument," says U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky.
His Favorite Poem Project shares audio and video of people reading their
favorite poems, and invites readers to send in their favorite poems with a
few sentences about why it is special to them. Students are invited to
participate, and this could be a springboard for classrooms to develop
their own favorite poem web sites.
