"Poetic Voices: Writing, Reading, and Responding to Poetry" was the title of the 2011 Master Class in Children's Literature. Woven into this session were the insights of poets Joyce Sidman and Pat Mora who shared their creative processes and the voices that inspire their poetry. In addition, Barbara Kiefer provided advice regarding how to connect poetry and art in the classroom, and Patricia Bandre discussed how a class poetry study can increase students' understanding and love of the genre. This article captures highlights of each speaker's presentation and also includes a description of a unit of study focusing on the poetry of Joyce Sidman. (Contains 5 figures.)
