Eugene Bolande brings Poetry to the Classroom

Saturday, April 02 2005 @ 09:06 PM

BookPAL Eugene Bolande has continued to visit classrooms throughout Cambridge, Dorchester and Boston, spreading his enthusiasm for poetry.

He has created inspiring programs for Dr. Seuss� Birthday, African American month, Martin Luther King�s Birthday and Poetry month. Often several BookPALS join Eugene on his classroom visits, reciting poems from Dr Seuss to Shakespeare�s King Henry the Eighth pre-battle speech to the troupes, complete with crown!. The teacher and kids follow with their own favorite poems. Eugene always ends each class time with a rousing rendition of an appropriate Poem for the month. It is great fun for all involved.
