Welcome to Poetropia, an arena for discussion about children's poetry, specially designed for my graduate Special Topics (LS 5903 Section 22) at Texas Woman's University. Please feel free to visit as often as you like and to give me your reactions to my reactions of the poems and poetry collections I'll share here throughout the Spring 2007 semester.

Welcome!

Poetropia

: Name: Joelie

Me? I'm writing a book, ahem, SEVERAL books, on the subject. I'm a memoirist. And a librarian(got the degree but no job yet), actor, photographer, mommy, crocheter/cross-stitcher, half-marathoner, among myriad other things. I grew up all over the U.S, mostly back and forth between AR and GA. I graduated at 16 and went straight to college in Missouri. I quit, traveled around on Greyhounds, shacking up with one loser boyfriend after another and finally getting pregnant. Gave that one up for adoption (NOT a sad story--VERY HAPPY). Went back to school, eventually went to France, learned French, married a Frenchy, went to grad school, got pregnant again, moved to Texas, had a baby boy 6 weeks early (he's big now though and doing fine), wrote a couple of books (yet to be published), started working in a library, decided I liked it, went back to school to get my second Master's, got pregnant again, started writing for a magazine, had that baby (big fat girl). Moved to Charlotte, NC, had another fat girl. We're all currently living in France for a couple of years, practicing our hippie lifestyle for when we move back to the States and buy our little farm.
