Elizabeth Falcón, Poetry Center intern, MFA student, and elementary education poet-in-residence, leads a Shop Talk of children’s literature by names you’ll recognize. Work by Sylvia Plath, Theodore Roethke, and T.S. Eliot will delight us and spark conversation about audience, tone and style in poetry written for children.
