2022 Featured Fall Books List for Young Readers

This fall, we encourage you to check out these poetry titles from our sponsors and advertisers for children, YA novels in verse, and books by poets for young readers to help bring more poetry into the classroom or home. Poems can spark a lifelong love of reading, and buying poetry books is one of the best ways to directly support poets and poetry.
October 2022 marks the hundredth anniversary of the publication of T. S. Eliot’s “The Waste Land.” “If it initially seemed a response to the late Great War, in its centennial year its themes of drought and drabness sound immediate and foreboding to a generation facing climate disaster and the moral bankruptcy of the political class. The poem, straddling past and future, applies pressure on the present.” Read more about the cultural impact of “The Waste Land” and find more poems, resources, and essays by and about Eliot.

Our friends at 826 National have recently revamped 826 Digital, a free online platform for educators, to better support the needs of writing educators near and far. 826 Digital features writing resources that have been designed and field-tested by staff and students across the 826 Network. Check out new features that make it easy to get inspired, find writing resources you need, and connect with teachers.

Teachers, thank you for your work bringing poetry into the classroom year-round. We’re happy to be able to offer hundreds of free lesson plans, essays, and other resources, and we wish you and your students health and safety.
