A summary

Hi everyone,

A friend who is working on an article asked how many books I’ve had published. It has been a while since I last checked so one thing led to another until what she got was a great deal more than she asked for or needs. I’ve been flailing away at this writing business over a span of seven decades, so things accumulate. And because I’m now up to date I’ll record the summary here, too, so I can find it again if anyone else asks.

110     books published (91 trade books, 18 education books for teachers, 1 autobiography)
    2     books under contract
    3     plays inspired by my work or co-written
    1     early literacy program with 80 poems, co-written for the 11th largest   public school district in America (178,000 students)
    1     90-minute PBS documentary, placed in the Library of Congress permanent collection for works of distinction.
  10     poems arranged as songs and performed by a musical group
100+   articles (and interviews) in magazines, newspapers, journals, internet,     etc. 
200+   poems or selections from my work in anthologies, texts, state reading tests, etc.
