A New Anthology of Art & Poetry from the River of Words Contest

book cover

River of Words: Young Poets and Artists on the Nature of Things

Featuring children's poems and works of art, this delightful anthology showcases the work of children seeking to explore, appreciate, and protect the watersheds in which they live. A remarkable confluence of K-12 curriculum, children's literature, environmentalism, poetry and art, this enchanting volume speaks to the creative spirit in all of us.

Get your copy today!

Also, check out the free, downloadable teaching guide that accompanies the anthology!





River of Words Opens Children's Art Gallery
BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA….Over one hundred people joined us on November 13, 2003 to celebrate the opening of our new gallery, Young at Art. Board chair and cofounder Robert Hass read several poems from our annual anthology of children’s poetry to the assembled guests, gathered in the grand (but funky) lobby of our building, a ninety-year old former mattress factory.

Come visit the gallery whenever you are in the Berkeley area!
933 Parker Street, #38- near the corner of 8th and Parker
Hours:
By chance or by appointment

It's always a good idea to call before you come to make sure someone will be here to receive you!
