Whisper and Shout: Poems to Memorize

I'm a librarian in an elementary school. I showed this book to a third grader (a bright one) who had no previous interest in poetry -- it was April, and National Poetry month. We browsed through it together; we discussed how some people like to memorize poetry. I started to recite, from memory, Macbeth's soliloquy: "Tomorrow and tomorow creeps in this petty pace..." She stood enthralled, started to read it herself, and said, "I can borrow this book, can't I?" She had it checked out immediately and left the room with a grin from ear to ear. Now, if that's not recommendation enough, I don't know what is.
