“I always hesitate to call myself a children's poet, and I always hesitate to call what I write for children poetry. Though a few of the verses that I've written, yes, I think they are truly poems.” ThinkingWritingChildrenWrittenPoetVerses Author:Mary Ann Hoberman
“I write a lot of children's verse and I think it delights in the language. It pleases people. It's very musical. It's very lyrical and that's certainly a very important aspect of poetry. But I think that a lot of it is verse. I write well-wrought verse.” PeopleThinkingWritingWellsChildrenImportantLanguagePleaseAspectMusicalDelightVersesLyrical Author:Mary Ann Hoberman
