I feel so bad that we don't!! We have Leading from within: poetry that sustains the courage to lead (also by Intrator and Scribner) - and Stories of the Courage to Teach (edited by Intrator) - but not this one. I am heartbroken. :( Will add this to the list of books I will be recommending to the Head of Singapore Book Council. <br /><br />I always always love your stories about teaching, and it reminded me that perhaps I should include a poem or two when I conclude my teaching sessions with our novice teachers in the institute. I am sure that it would likewise inspire them. I am now checking out Stafford poems and will see which ones would 'fire' them up best. Will also include a link to your post here. So beautiful. :)GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-73089532538963506952012-02-03T15:25:51.438-07:002012-02-03T15:25:51.438-07:00Like Jama, I love Stafford but didn't know abo...Like Jama, I love Stafford but didn't know about this anthology.

I sometimes feel like I owe you part of my coaching salary since you seem to do part of my work for me. Many times I copy the poems you share and put them away for my contest speech students who perform poetry.
