Words & Other Wild Things Brick Street Poetry

Words & Other Wild Things is a Poetry Alive! project sponsored by Brick Street Poetry, Inc. and made possible through grants from the Nicholas H. Noyes, Jr. Memorial Foundation. Poetry Alive! takes poetry to children in hospitals, parks, and schools, along with costumed characters who help bring the concepts and words in the poetry to life. Poems are arranged roughly into three sections, and are intended to be of interest and reading level to different age groups: Buzz Words for younger children; Wise Words for older youth; and Wild Words for that group in the middle.
