Recensione:

"Worried you don't know how to teach poetry? Frustrated that your students groan at the sight of a poem? Open the Door will change all that. The writers not only give teachers permission to approach the teaching of poetry through a fresh portal; they also provide clear directions for finding that elusive door in the wall. This is a GPS for both the poetically challenged and anyone in search of new word horizons." --Carol Jago,past president, National Council of Teachers of English

"An invaluable resource." —Publishers Weekly (Starred review)
