Welcome to episode 5!
Note: This video is the first of the last two videos I did with Lee for this series before he passed away. Since we did not complete the series, and it was so important to Lee to do so, the last two episodes (the 80s and 90s) will be narrated by Dr. Sylvia Vardell. I know Lee would be happy that a poetry advocate as dedicated and knowledgeable as he will be completing this history in his stead.
In this series, Lee Bennett Hopkins takes us through a chronology of American poets for children from 1920 to 1999. Each episode focuses on the poets of a single decade, and the posts include a few sample poems, photos, and a growing timeline of poets.
We hope you’ll enjoy this journey through time with us!

- Emma's Poem by Linda Glaser; Claire A. Nivola (Illustrator)Publication Date: 2013-09-10A celebration of our nation's melting pot, this beautifully illustrated origin story of the Statue of Liberty honors a poet who has advocated for the voiceless. "Give me your tired, your poor Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free . . . " In 1883, Emma Lazarus, deeply moved by an influx of immigrants from eastern Europe, wrote a sonnet that gave a voice to the Statue of Liberty. Originally a gift from France to celebrate our shared national struggles for liberty, the statue, thanks to Emma's poem, came to define us as a nation that welcomes immigrants. The text of that now famous poem, "The New Colossus," appears in this free-verse biography, illustrated in an exquisite folk art style. The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus has been selected as a Common Core Text Exemplar (Grades 4-5, Poetry)
