The poet, a born and talented teacher and a gifted and skilled poet, writes in a way that is strikingly humble, honest, courageous, and profoundly caring about the well-being of children, while never losing sight of his purpose in their lives: to help them discover the process of risk-taking, trust and dedicated work, that will carry them through their lives and let them fulfill their potential as human beings~ in this case, human beings who learn and grow through poetry, including the development and joy of their own poetic voices. They learn from the adult poet, their beloved teacher "Mr. K," that they can trust themselves little by little, for as the solo poet begins to make thoughtful and moving connections with others through the musical language of poetry, the real magic is when a whole group of individual singers can actually form a chorus. Students in the classroom discover this as they listen to each other, and as their teacher-poet Stan Kusunoki gives them a stage for the performance of their poems, or helps them put together a poetry collection as a class project. When the students see and hold their book for the first time, their teacher-editor says, "Now you are a published poet." The effect on a young student taking in those words is no less a feeling of astonishment than what the adult poet feels on receiving his or her first letter of acceptance or check for a poem, and seeing it in print for the first time."Mr. K" works with the students as part disciplinarian, part magician, full-time friend~ always non-judgmental, always demanding, and by these many means, he is part of the miracle that happens when poetry is drawn out of a person, old or young. The young person is surprised, amazed, proud, delighted in the discovery that she or he has this other voice inside, a voice that is aware, thinks and writes poetically, and speaks for one's truest self, perhaps waking up and opening up for the first time. When the students read aloud (sometimes with drums!), the reason for it all becomes clear: poetry exists so that human beings can learn to hear what is most important, most honest, most meaningful, most vulnerable, most tender and most strong within their own and each other's mysterious hearts. From the child poets as well as the adult poets among us, we glean joy, authentic sorrow, the gamut of emotions, artfully woven into words that tell a story or sing a song or simply reflect reality from an angle of vision and expression that reveal something unique about life and the human spirit, in a form shaped by the inspired and informed mind. From such experience, wisdom often enters the world. Thank you, Mr. K, and all of your students also!Alla Renée Bozarth, Ph.D., author of Wisdom and Wonderment: 31 Feasts to Nourish Your Soul, and Accidental Wisdom.

By Trudi Taylor Do yourself a favor and read this wonderful and profoundly moving book.Buy several copies while you are at it, because you will want to share it with anyone you know who:• experienced the traumas and delights of being a student sometime in their life;• cares deeply that each child recognizes her/himself as a creative, able, unique contributor to a healthier, happier world;• can appreciate the emotional impact evoked by the beauty and raw power of each selection’s language.(Several times I found myself smiling and chuckling at one line and shedding empathetic tears at the lines just following.)Over my 40-year career in Education, I have enjoyed reading numerous fine books written by teachers about their students and their work. This book is unlike any I have read before. It cannot be stereotyped and is decidedly not “cute,” “charming,” or “blaming.” It is instead a deeply affecting tribute to great teaching and complex learners, presented as the thoughtful and hope-filled insights of a phenomenal educator and as the poetic responses of his inspired students.Dr. Trudi TaylorProfessor EmeritaWhite Bear Lake, MN
