The Forgotten Genre of Children's Poetry

Abstract

The author argues that 20th‐century children's poetry is often ignored and that the emphasis on teaching the adult poetry canon can give children mistaken ideas about what poetry is. Poetry is not a collection of “classics” whose meanings must be explained but something written to capture thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Ideas for teaching poetry are included.
