Rating: - it leaves me flabbergasted
I find it rather difficult to adequately describe Taylor Mali's book, What Learning Leaves. How can a reader poetically describe a poet? I'm not sure one can, so I'll leave the poetical language to Mr. Mali.
I recently learned about the Poetry Slam scene, and it has fascinated me. The power of the spoken word ignites within me a fire that is unquenched by mere penmanship, and I'm sure you would be the same after you hear a poet slam a poem out. Taylor Mali is one of the best, and simply ... Read More
Rating: - inspiring poetry
I have long enjoyed Taylor Mali's performance poetry. This book is a worthy collection of his work. I have passed them around to friends.
Rating: - Taylor Mali's Greatest Hits
This book collects the high points from the career of performance poet Taylor Mali. All his classics are here: What Teachers Make, Like Lilly Like Wilson, Playing Scrabble With Eddie.

Rating: - Taylor Mali is great
I use this book in my classroom all of the time. My high school students love it. I also bought his CD and we listened to him present in an effort to model poetry presentation.
Rating: - Superb!
I have been searching for this book for a while, it's out of print and Amazon was the only one who carried it. Great condition, fast delivery, and of course the book is just excellent. As an aspiring teacher it speaks to a place in my heart that I hold in deep passion. Mali's words are fully expressive on what it means to be an educator.
