Sobol and anything suggested by teachers. Ms. James was introduced to poetry during a Black History Pageant given at school when her third grade teacher gave her the poem “Midway” by Naomi Long Madgett to recite. Ms. James developed a love for poetry and began to write her own poetry.
Ms. James has since been inspired by other poets such as Langston Hughes, Robert Frost, Maya Angelou, Emily Dickinson, Nikki Giovanni and, of course, Shakespeare.view less
