I was late to the poetry party only catching on in around 2004 that poetry in 3rd grade was a goldmine and treasure chest rolled into more. Especially the way I did it. Never an assignment, always an invitation and done with love. It took me until around 2011 to find the Poetry Friday Kidlitosphere and longer to find Lee. He became a supporter, a mentor, an encourager, a friend. So generous of spirit, so committed to children and poetry. To poems, to people, to providing us all with beautiful books. Such a legacy. Bucket list is to get to the Penn State library to go through his collected papers. Just to be there and feel his spirit and read his delightful tomes, those sent and received. He was one of a kind for sure, but how lucky we in this community, were to have him. To know him. And to have his words to remind us and enliven our minds. Thank you, Greg. <br />Janet Clare F.skanny17https://www.blogger.com/profile/07488350213473016250noreply@blogger.com
