We recognize and appreciate the hard work of educators. Your job, second only to that of a ninja, is one of the most challenging in the world. Between teaching, testing, grading, and nurturing, it can be overwhelming to find new materials for your classroom. That's where we come in. As poets and teachers ourselves, we understand the power of spoken word in the classroom. Just attend a youth slam or watch a clip online to witness the positive impact of modern poetry on young minds. It has the ability to captivate students of any background in a way that traditional poetry simply cannot. We understand that many teachers hesitate to use spoken word in their classrooms due to concerns about explicit language and themes. That's why we have collaborated with some of the best contemporary spoken word and slam poets to provide appropriate and engaging pieces for classroom use.\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Write Bloody Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":10990639284339,"sku":"","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0014\/0535\/4099\/products\/Learn_Then_Burn_-_Teacher_Guide_and_Workbook_Companion.jpg?v=1529706021"},{"product_id":"multiverse","title":"Multiverse: An Anthology of Superhero Poetry of Superhuman Proportions","description":"\u003c!-- BUTTON TEMPLATE - Copy this entire code block --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- Just replace the three URLs (between the quotation marks after href=) with your specific book links --\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-testid=\"conversation-turn-55\" class=\"group w-full text-token-text-primary border-b border-black\/10 dark:border-gray-900\/50 bg-gray-50 dark:bg-[#444654]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p-4 justify-center text-base md:gap-6 md:py-6 lg:px-0 m-auto\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-1 gap-4 text-base mx-auto md:gap-6 md:max-w-2xl lg:max-w-[38rem] xl:max-w-3xl }\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"relative flex w-[calc(100%-50px)] flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3 lg:w-[calc(100%-115px)]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-grow flex-col gap-3 max-w-full\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"min-h-[20px] flex flex-col items-start gap-3 overflow-x-auto whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eMultiVerse\u003c\/em\u003e takes the superhero story somewhere it’s never been before—past the capes and powers, and straight into the heartbreaking business of being human.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFeaturing poets from the page and the stage, this collection explores heroism in all its strange forms: the battles we fight, the identities we carry, and the relational strengths that make someone extraordinary. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrab this wild ride through the multiverse of poetry, humor, and what it really means to be a hero.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eI don’t think you should touch me.\u003cbr\u003eI have a gift.
