The Invisible Ladder An Anthology of Contemporary American Poems for Young Readers Hardcover - 1996

by Liz Rosenberg


From the publisher

"Sitting by the barbecue"
"waiting for sausages and hot dogs"."........."
"I see a tiny spider"."........."
"a silver speck""glistening"
"at its mouth, ""climbing the invisible ladder"
--from "Dinner Together" by Diana Rivera This anthology of poems by America's best poets glistens too, and offers its own silvery ladder for readers to climb.
Liz Rosenberg, herself an accomplished poet, wanted to make contemporary poems for adults accessible to a broader readership. She searched for works which, in both feeling and expression, could reach from one age group to another. Then she asked the poets to write about the links between poetry and childhood, and to send photos that showed how they looked when they were young, and who they are today. "The Invisible Ladder" is a gift from everyone who contributed to it: a hand extended from those whose art is crafting words to a new generation of readers and writers.

First line

Like most young people in the small town in which I grew up, I went through high school thinking that poetry was written in the language of earlier times, expressing flowery sentiments in ways certain to embarrass any red-blooded American boy or girl.
