I always associated her with wonderful nature-based poetry, but This Is Just to Say showed me a whole new side to her. That's one of my all-time top 5 poetry books. It's one of those desert island books--I'd have to have it with me!laurasalashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807781795919555208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320080607016581524.post-31240257660120957902009-04-21T20:36:00.000-04:002009-04-21T20:36:00.000-04:00Love the Frost quote!Love the Frost quote!Mary Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078793537148794310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320080607016581524.post-53260924714384424812009-04-15T07:32:00.000-04:002009-04-15T07:32:00.000-04:00I LOVE Joyce Sidman's poetry books.

I realized recently that you teach at the University of Richmond. My daughter Jennifer (Armusewicz) Warner had you as a teacher and now teaches ESL in Sag Harbor, NY. She remembers you well. I told her to check out your blog. She's always looking for good books for her children. I love your book reviews!

What beautiful and exciting nature poetry for children! I teach 5th grade, and I can't wait to read some of these to my students as we've been writing poetry in class, and they'll love how fun they are! I also can't wait to share these resources with my fellow teachers.

The librarian asked me the other day if I homeschooled them. I don't, but considered that an enormous compliment.

I studied haiku for my Japanese history class in college and had to prepare a presentaion on it. I love the form, but find that it's often difficult to write. That doesn't stop me from trying. :) I've been messing around with colors myself through free association. No poem yet, but a lot of good ideas. Thanks again, Bridget R.

Joyce Sidman is certainly an amazing resource for examining the poetry of nature! Red Sings from the Tree Tops will take its place next to Hailstones and Halibut Bones by Mary O'Neil, another poet who uses color as a doorway to poetry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320080607016581524.post-89835520214260517982009-04-14T01:58:00.000-04:002009-04-14T01:58:00.000-04:00It doesn't surprise me to hear that Joyce Sidman s...It doesn't surprise me to hear that Joyce Sidman studied with Richard Wilbur - I've long admired Wilbur and Sidman's work pays the same lovely attention to word choices and sounds. Especially like that riddle! Thanks so much, Tricia, for posting the interview.Julie https://www.blogger.com/profile/12811523890920763782noreply@blogger.com
