Breaking the Code of Poetry
In this essay you will find three of my poems to give you an example of the range that can be found in children's poetry, and some possible ways to break each code. How I love the image that conjures up: a children's poet dressed as a French tart in revealing clothing and beret, her back up against a lamppost, cigarette (probably a chocolate cigarette since she is a children's poet) dangling from her mouth. [...]the photographs in the book were all by my youngest son, Jason Stemple, who is an awardwinning photographer now living in Charleston, SC with his family.

Second Skin: An Interview with Jane Yolen
Few writers have achieved the range or distinction of Jane Yolen, whose oeuvre includes stories, reviews, and well-known books such as Owl Moon and Devil's Arithmetic. Her work has been translated into a dozen languages, including Japanese, Afrikaans, Xhosa, and Braille. While she has published nearly 300 children's and adult books on fantasy, science fiction, and the art of writing itself, it is Yolen's connection to folklore that is the foundation of her work, earning her the titles \"America's Hans Christian Andersen\" and \"the Aesop of the Twentieth Century.\" She believes that folklore \"is the universal human language\" for which children have an instinctive affinity. Moreover, the citation for Yolen's honorary Doctor of Law degree from Our Lady of the Elms College in Chicopee, Massachusetts, noted that \"throughout her writing career she has remained true to her primary source of inspiration—folk culture.\" According to Yolen, \"[F]olklore is \"the perfect second skin. From under its hide, we can see all the shimmering, shadowy uncertainties of the world.\" Yolen, who was born and raised in New York City, is also an accomplished storyteller and teacher. The following exchange took place by e-mail in late 2007, while Yolen was in Scotland.

How Hard Can It Be?
Jane Yolen, the award-winning author of over 300 books, shares her writing process and invites us to understand the differences between writing for picture books, writing narratives, and collaborating on a graphic novel, as she experienced while writing her first graphic novel Foiled. The relationship between the illustrations and the text is central in creating graphic novels and essential to producing a quality book. Not only is the author asked to be \"part art director, part movie director, part set designer and costume designer, part storyboarder,\" the production of graphic novels necessitates collaboration between author, artist, and editor. The sophistication with which graphic novels are written and, as a result, read has helped Jane Yolen embrace this art form, and she encourages us to do the same. (Contains 1 figure.)
