Spreading the word

Description:

Describes a unique approach for eliciting poetry from people of many ages and backgrounds--particularly underprivileged urban kids and the elderly. The process--from dialogue to self-expression to publication to public event--illuminates the urgency and meaning of releasing the spirit captured in each man and woman and child's experience.
