Child Poetry

Elvira Di Lena, ex insegnante della scuola primaria, ha raccolto le poesie che aveva scritto per insegnare ai bambini concetti, grammatica, i fatti della vita e la bellezza del mondo che ci circonda. Ha anche pensato di leggerle e ne è nato questo audiolibro. Non bisogna aspettarsi una lettura professionale, almeno non nel senso di una vera recitazione. Elvira legge le sue poesie esattamente come le leggerebbe una maestra ai suoi piccoli allievi, con quel trasposto e quella semplicità che catturano l'attenzione dei bambini.

A journal of my life this year as I go about my life to church, to work, to teaching, to play, and to visiting friends. The first chapter is a story of the spring.

It is really paraphrased versus a direct quotation. And some of the biblical quotes I used are used in the poem I wrote. The second chapter is about the summer of 2018 and about some of the things I went through.
