- Have you ever encountered a student who is on
fire creatively?
- Have you experienced the energy and joie de vivre
exuded by a person who loves to share thoughts through
words?
- Are you a career educator with a love for writing
and reading that you'd like to foster in your students?
- Do you feel like these creative endeavors often
take a backseat to entertainment provided by television,
computer games, DVD's and sports?
We at Anthology of Poetry, Inc. believe
that a love for reading and writing is developed with
careful nurturing and outlets for expression. The ability
to read with understanding and to write clearly is an
excellent foundation for life. Cultivating students' creative
fire develops their confidence and expands their writing
skill.
Students are well prepared for a multifaceted
life when they have opportunities for exposure to the
pleasures of a literary life and recognition for their
writing. Through the Anthology of Poetry, Inc.'s poetry
and short story publications, all
K-12 students have ways to engage in the literary community.
Unlike vanity publishers, who print virtually every submission
hoping to sell expensive books to all 'authors'. We've
been publishing since 1989, working hand-in-hand with
teachers and their students. Through our books, student
authors earn the recognition they so richly deserve. Teachers
have a literary partner who is as interested as they are
in nurturing writing talent.
If the authors who appear in our pages
go on to become the poet laureate, earn a Pulitzer Prize,
a Newbery Medal or a generous book contract, we'll take
pleasure in their achievement. We take greater pleasure
however, in knowing that our publications served as a
launching pad -
- for a parent who's penning bedtime stories for
his or her children
- an engaging creative writing teacher
- a columnist who's able to explain the ins and outs
of health insurance or
- the technical writer who's creating operations
manuals for spacecraft.
