THE TIGER
Surprising truth: a six-year-old's poem taught me more about courage in writing than many workshops. I write about Nael's "The Tiger" from They’re Singing a Song in Their Rocket and why that raw "Yes YES" says everything. Then I reflect on simplicity in poetry, children's poetry, 826DC and writing advice for adults.
