Favorite Poem Project. "Reading a poem silently instead of saying a poem is
like the difference between staring at sheet music and actually humming or
playing the music on an instrument," says U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky.
His Favorite Poem Project shares audio and video of people reading their
favorite poems, and invites readers to send in their favorite poems with a
few sentences about why it is special to them.
