No Money for Child Poets
Leslie Liberato and Maryrose Flanigan of the National Endowment for the Arts are brainstorming marketing strategies for the Poetry Out Loud finals coming up in late April. Their list reads:
- Making fliers for teachers
- Contacting school groups
- Getting stories in the traditional press and reaching out to bloggers
- Finding bookstores still in business
- Find judge for semifinal slot
One problem: There's no money for any of these ideas.
