ECHOES:
Great poets inspiring young writers
"Echoes" is an encyclopedia of poets created by 8th grade English students at Cary Academy in Cary, North Carolina. Each site contains a biography of the poet, sample poems with literary analysis, and original student poetry inspired by the poet. If you are a middle or high school teacher who would like to have your class contribute to "Echoes," please email site editor Delia DeCourcy. We would like to expand the list of poets as well as create new links to the ones already in the index below. Curriculum and resources for the Echoes project can be found on the Student & Teacher Resource page.
