If you have not read anything by Taylor Mali or even heard of Taylor Mali, then you need to read this book right away! Thsi man is a genius when it comes to spoken word and if you ever get the chance to hear him live, do it! He used to be a teacher and a majority of his poems reflect his experience with children or as an educator. This is why I can relate so well to his poems. He also has a way of writing that hits you so clearly and moves you in a way that is inspiring. He is such an amazing writer! ( )
