Hi everyone,
Yesterday I received a reminder that the Winter issue of The Missouri Reader is out and has been for a while. This is a juried journal published by Missouri Literacy Association, an affiliate of International Literacy Association. The Reader describes itself this way:
The Missouri Reader is the MLA's scholarly journal.
It is published quarterly as a resource for our members.
The articles are written by nationally recognized authors, literacy researchers and instructional leaders as well as by local literacy researchers, veteran classroom teachers, beginning classroom teachers and graduate students.
The Winter issue contains a number of articles about poetry in the classroom as well as a podcast interview by SAM BOMMARITO of GEORGIA HEARD and me on the subject of poetry.https://viewer.joomag.com/winter-2024-edition/0050255001732049566/p38?short=
It also includes a link to the 2019 Winter issue, which was dedicated entirely to poetry. That issue set the all-time record for number of readers. The Spring issue of The Missouri Reader will also feature a lot about poetry and I see that it is being dedicated in my honor as state poet laureate. I am very grateful to Sam, his co-editor for many years, GLENDA NUGENT, and all others who have made room for poetry on the pages of this dynamic journal.
