Description

"Tzivia Gover tells us that according to the educator, Paulo Freire, 'It is impossible to teach without the courage to love.' In this beautifully written memoir, Gover musters up the courage to love her students despite the often difficult differences between them. By having the pregnant and parenting teens in her classroom learn to read, write, and recite poetry, Gover exposes her students to a whole new world. Upon reading their poetry, Gover is exposed to a whole new world as well. LEARNING IN MRS. TOWNE'S HOUSE is a testimony to the power of poetry.
