Summary: Appreciation from one of the "young people"
Review: Sandy Lyne's compilation of student poetry is wonderful in displaying the uninhibited candor and emotion of school age children. I'm doubtless a bit biased as a poem I wrote while in school is included in the book. Sandy visited for several weeks and encouraged us to be open in expressing ourselves, making each student know that they had "the soul of a poet". It was a memorable experience for me, and I'm grateful to be included in this delightful collection.

Summary: Wonderfully clear views into the hearts of children
Review: The poems scattered across the pages of this volume are rich in their simplicity and openness. They aren't polluted by the pretense of professionalism or the so-called "wisdom" of age. Truly delightful book for adults and children alike.

Summary: Stunningly spare poems from children
Review: Thie poems in this book are sometimes translucent, often remarkable and easy to read, and frequently wisdom-bullets that pierce the heart. There is more sweet wisdom here in single poems than one often finds in the dense works of the professional poet. A definite must-have book.
