From Lists to Poems

I bought this book (List Poem by Larry Fagan) as a companion to the book List Your Self. I intend to use them in tandem for inspiration in writing, and perhaps teaching, list poetry. Fagan's book is full of wonderful examples from well-known poets and from school children, and since he is aiming his teaching at grade school children the instructions couldn't be clearer. The book also has a bibliography of addition sources. As a list maker from way back, now I can turn my lists into poetry!
