A Wealth of African American Poetry

 National Poetry Month is a good time to look at African American Poetry

There's less than a week left of National Poetry Month and I haven't touched a fraction of the material that I could have. Of course I'm not really the person to be doing a piece on poetry since I know so little about it. These posts for me, are just an effort to learn a little more myself while sharing what I discover with anyone else who might happen to be curious about African American Poetry. I found a spread at Famous Poets and Poems dot com that goes into some Black  American Poetry.
You just have to (click here for the link) bookmark the page and you'll be in for a real treat. If you're a teacher or home-schooling , I have a feeling that your students will get a wealth of information from this spot although like anything else on the web you should screen it before turning young students loose on it.
