Amy SimpsonAlma d'arte Charter High School

Amy teaches 9th - 12th graders and wanted to invest in a poetry anthology. Amy found a book of poetry she thought would be perfect and the Classroom fund provided. "Beauty is a Verb adroitly blends thoughtful analysis, biographical essays, and original poetry in a way that is comprehensible and interesting to high school students," says Amy Simpson. A bonus is that the book is published by an El Paso local publishing house, Cinco Puntos Press.
