Do it with poetry.
Write fearlessly and use only your best words!

This attack begins and ends with love as all good attacks and poems should.

SO COME DOWN AND LISTEN TO SOME POETRY. WRITE A NEW POEM OF YOUR OWN. MEET POETS AND TAKE A LITTLE INSPIRATION HOME WITH YOU!

A Poet is a Poet No Matter How Tall
Episode II: ATTACK OF THE POEMS is the epic follow-up to the All-ages poetry anthology A Poet is a Poet No Matter How Tall. Come and help us celebrate this collection of all-ages poetry written by and for poets of all shapes and sizes.

What people have to say about this book!

To say that this book is an effort of stunning ambition and collaboration is an understatement. Two of the most repeated words in this brilliant and fully realized Anthology are ‘love’ and ‘heart.’ Indeed, it is a feast of passion, love, and heart. From older, established poets to youngsters who are still in Grammar school, we are treated to free verse, prose, rhyme, and haiku. We are also treated to a gamut of emotions, discovery, dismay, and life experience that arcs from childhood to nursing homes. Bravo!
