Frankenstein CD Players and Poems
My CD player is the undead. I've dropped it several hundred times at least, broken the battery case to the point where I have to hold it shut with tape, and the other day finally broke the thing into two pieces. I put it back together with very little hope.
And it worked.
It's alive, Igor! It's aliiiive!
And today I hung out with some very cool kids at a teen poetry reading at my library which lead to my brief review on the book above. I even got paid for it, but I would have done it for free. I admit I was a little afraid I wouldn't like it, because my own poetry from my teen years was less than exemplary. But I really liked listening and talking to these kids. Probably something about elementary and middle schoolers that will spend a Friday evening in the library reading poetry and playing Boggle meshes with my own personality.
