Kenneth Koch - Wishes, Lies, & Dreams

from ME READING STUFF · host Robyn O'Neil

Tonight I take a break from doing my night moves to read you three poems from my very very very favorite book of poetry. Kenneth Koch mined some of the most interesting/unsettling poems ever written. All from elementary students at P.S. 61 in Manhattan. I read you "A Colorful Dream" by Thomas Rogaski (3rd grade), "That's Odd" by Joel London, (5th grade), and "My Only Lover Boy" by Concepcion Dipini (4th grade).
