What a great roundup, Elaine! Thanks for putting that together.

Gregory,

I do a weekly roundup in April because it's so hard to keep up with all the great poetry posts during National Poetry Month. I don't get around to reading them all every day. The list of links makes it more convenient for me to go back and read them at a later time. I hope other people find these roundups helpful.

Wow! Has it been a week already? Hardly feels like it. Thanks for rounding us up.

Tricia,

The time HAS flown--and I haven't been quick enough to keep up with all the poetry happenings in the kidlitosphere.
