I start with my own joke about Superman. Then I use a quote from Superman actor, Christopher Reeve. April is national poetry month. Then I talk about enriched environments with comic book catharsis. April 28 is also National Superhero Day.
In this week's RITE OF PASSAGE EXPERIENCES or ROPE, I talk about Superman-based poetry. I read two personal poems that involve complex choices and disabilities.
