A product of Hawaii's Poets-in-the-Schools program, this second volume of a compilation of essays and poems addresses diverse artistic and educational concerns about poetry writing and is divided into two sections. Section I consists of essays by three of the poets who were involved in the program: (1) "Evaluating Student Poems" by Tim Burke, (2) "Giving Voice" by Dana Naone, and (3) "Chinese Imagery" by Wayne Westlake. Section II consists of 94 short poems written by the children of the 28 Central Oahu Elementary Schools, merely a sample of the poetry produced in response to the presence and guidance of poets in the classroom.
