Teaching with Fire

Teaching with Fire is a wonderful collection of 88 poems from such well-loved poets as Walt Whitman, Langston Hughes, Billy Collins, Emily Dickinson, and Pablo Neruda accompanied by a brief story from a teacher explaining the significance of the poem in his or her life's work. This beautiful book also includes an essay that describes how poetry can be used to grow both professionally and personally. Poetry has the power to keep us vital and focused on what teaching and learning are really about. Teaching with Fire was written in partnership with the Center for Teacher Formation and the Bill Melinda Gates Foundation. Royalties from this book will be used to fund scholarship opportunities for teachers to grow and learn.
