In her interview with Anderson Cooper @TheAmandaGorman gave a shout out to @urbanwordnyc and @WriteGirlLA, two organizations that supported her practice as a poet! We are proud, in turn, to have supported BOTH of those wonderful programs. After-school poetry for all!

We have about 45 more packages of FREE Metaphor Dice PAPER prototypes to send out for comments (or just enjoyment). So far, the response has been extremely positive. These will be a great inexpensive resource! Sign up here to receive your package:

What are some podcasts you like that might be interested in having me on as a guest to talk about poetry, Metaphor Dice and poetry?

For those interested, #metaphordice inventor @TaylorMali does a 10-minute Facebook Live broadcast called Metaphor Monday at noon (EST) which always involves a poem or two and a roll of the dice! Tune in Mondays at “Taylor Mali (the poet)” on Facebook.

FYI, this set is on sale right now on Amazon! It’s $11.38 (don’t ask) instead of $15.

Here’s a nice review of Metaphor Dice from a homeschool blogger!

Is that from a mixed set? We know CAPRICIOUS comes from the Erudite expansion, but HOPE and DANCE come from the Original set, yes? Regardless, we’ll done.

Dearest wordnerds and educators: Have a peek at #MetaphoricalAngel to find a trove of anonymous thank yous from teachers who have received sets of @MetaphorDice as intentional acts of generosity by strangers.
