The Poetry of US edited by J.Patrick Lewis

Any book National Geographic publishes is beautiful!  This poetry book is stunning.
These poems celebrate the United States of America and its diverse people and places.  Mr. Lewis divides the poems into the regions in which they represent- New England, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Midwest, Great Plains, Rocky Mountain West, Pacific Coast and even the Territories.
Great resource to utilize when studying the different states.
On the resource page is a bibliography of wordplay books for children.
Warning/points to discuss- one poem infers the use of the "n" word for African American, a couple of gay pride poems.
