"Even if the works produced with The Magic Words are not always sublime artistic achievements, they are always glorious testaments to the persistence, creativity, and uniqueness of the human individual, and that is precisely the subject to whom the educator is responsible." Poet and novelist Joseph Fasano, a lecturer at Manhattanville University, developed The Magic Words poetry prompts to unlock creativity and confidence in student writers of all ages. In this #LibEdMag essay, he reflects on student success stories and the poetry his prompts helped produce. https://ow.ly/zltH50SFyXo
