Okay, maybe not scooped, exactly, but I gotta take my moments where I can, right? Couldn’t self-delusion be termed positive thinking? 😎


However, NPR is my favorite radio station ever so you can imagine how happy I was to hear this story on a book I featured in my April newsletter and brought on Good Morning Connecticut last week!

Who has more angst than a teenager? (I mean, other than the parent of a teenager!) Poetry is the perfect expression for angst, for questioning, for emotional expression so I recommend this anthology as a great gift for teens. Poetry Speaks Who I Am is filled with more than 100 poems and even includes space for the owner to add his or her own inside the book. It’s meant to be experienced, so there’s a CD to hear poets reading their own work, which makes it much more intimate and accessible.
