<p>In <i>Our Difficult Sunlight</i>, Quraysh Ali Lansana and Georgia Popoff demonstrate the power of poetry in the K-12 classroom. Drawing on their combined thirty years as teaching artists, the authors explore the terrain of the 21st-century public school and outline strategies for using the reading and creation of poetry to improve students' reading comprehension and writing skills. Highlighting best practices, exercises, and anecdotes rooted in their diverse experiences as a Chicago-based, African American poet/professor and a Caucasian poet/educator from upstate New York, Lansana and Popoff offer insights into how engaging young people in writing and sharing poetry can break down barriers to learning, aid in exploration of critical issues, and foster connections among students and teachers from very different backgrounds.</p>

Poetry. Religion. PSALTER is a book of psalms for the agnostic who still looks for sacred order in the doubter's soul, in the heart's intelligence, in the voice of the PSALTER's own singer. The very molecules of our makeup force an order to her consciousness: "Constellations alone are proof // that matter is on the loose, capable / of an inexplicable agreement."  "Poetry is how we recognize immaterial dreams and wishes. A true poet must be part Sufi, part skeptic; both mathematician and map maker. In PSALTER: THE AGNOSTIC'S BOOK OF COMMON CURIOSITIES, Georgia Popoff's narrator is all of these and more. The poems in this rich new collection are unafraid of the soul." stephen kuusisto"
