I Have Walked Through Many Lives gives voice to sophomore high school students who learned that poetry can be a vehicle not only to express themselves but to compose their varied visions of the world. Many of these poems went on to win state and regional contests. They are evidence that, even in a regular English class, students can learn the “moves” to write excellent poems. They are a testimony to what any teacher can do to enliven the imagination of students.
