Rose, Where Did You Get That Red?Authors: Kenneth Koch
Format: Paperback
Published: Vintage Books, 1973

First published to enormous acclaim in 1973, Rose, Where Did You Get That Red? became a classic that revolutionized the way children are taught to read and write poetry. The celebrated poet Kenneth Koch conveys the imaginative splendor of great poetry - by Whitman, Blake, Donne, Stevens, Lorca, and others - and then shows how it may be taught so as to help children write poetry of their own. The result is an exhilerating guide that teaches the highest kind of literacy. For this edition, the author has written a new introduction and a special afterword for teachers.
