I know we're past "poetry month" and this is probably not the right forum for my question, but I'm going to go for it anyways. I incorporate poetry into everything I teach in my fifth grade classroom, and spend a lot of reading and writing time acquainting kids with every form and author I can find. I have over 300 poetry books available in my classroom. But some of the newer titles mentioned in the last month (thank you, thank you!) were new titles to me. I read _Book Links_ and _School Library Journal_ when I can get my hands on it, but is there some clever way to find out about new poetry titles when they are published? I scour local bookstore's poetry sections, they don't seem to have the new titles, only old favorites. Thanks for indulging me!
