Power of Listening to Poetry

According to a study by researchers in Germany, listening to poetry "can spark brain activation patterns that produce emotional responses and engage the body's reward circuitry."  In other words, you might really get chills and goosebumps from listening to poetry.  We can't promise chills and goosebumps, but we do promise student voice in our first poems of 2020.  Simply click the title of the poem and enjoy!
