Empire of Poets

Empire of Poets: Keppel Student Anthology is a collection of poems by 5th grade students from Mark Keppel School in Paramount, California. In the 2016-2017 school year, students learned about how to recognize, analyze, write, and even perform poetry. Many of the poems are inspired by the poem, "Where I Am From" by George Ella Lyons, and from several poems by Shel Silverstein. The students in our after school poetry club elected the poems, cover art, and even the title. This book is their very own collaborative work of art.
