Ideas to Inspire

PBS online has a new website (new to me) up called Poetry Everywhere

There are 34 animated films made by students working with docUWM, a documentary media center at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and the University’s creative writing program, in association with the Poetry Foundation.

As a perk, they also have teacher resources for the poems/poets.
