Golden Dreams: Songs from Distant Gardens (annual Border Voices poetry antology Book 22)

Golden Dreams: Songs from Distant Gardens (annual Border Voices poetry antology Book 22)

FROM THE INTRODUCTION: Just for the fun of it, I’m going to show you how to do some wonderful things in your life:
How to wow a TV audience or – if you like – make everyone you meet
hang on your every word.
How to persuade a billionaire to write a check for your dream.

I could also show you the two easy steps needed to write a great poem , but I’ll save that for another time.
These are all things I’ve learned by spending 22 years promoting poetry in San Diego schools and communities. Among other things, I learned how to dream aloud – not to ask for things, except rarely, but merely to dream aloud. I was delighted to find how people felt those dreams resonating for them, and decide to help.
You can see some of the results in this book. There are some lovely poems by our youth, 3rd grade and older – including “Dark Room,” by 4th grader Luqman Shamsuddeen. Take a moment to read it, and you’ll see why I’m so proud of both him, and the Border Voices poet who taught him: Claudia Poquoc.
You can also enjoy the lovely cover by the talented artist Leslie Reilly; garden photos by poet-photographer Terry Macrae, and poems and bios of the two adult poets who joined our student winners on TV – Joe Milosch and Chris Vannoy.
Enjoy, enjoy!
But now I have to do what I promised.

AND HERE IS ...
A review by Dr. Emily Bilman, who lives in Geneva, Switzerland. She is a poet and a scholar. After viewing the previous and the latest Border Voices TV shows via a Web link and the new Border Voices Anthology, she wrote:

The Border Voices books and TV Programme open up new avenues
in our poetry appreciation and, at the same time, maintain
our literary understanding of new poems written by young
poets who, through dialogue, questions, readings, and prizes,
are encouraged to continue writing poetry with the guidance
of poet-teachers who, I think, should be open to learning more
and more from their students. Here, we are in the presence
of youngsters who made the leap into our language:
may they be given the opportunity to dwell well in it.
Wholeheartedly!
