Next, Rachel visits with poet Janet Wong, co-compiler of The Poetry Friday Anthology. She shares how she got her start in poetry – not really liking it as a kid, then, later, as an adult, discovering its joys. She is now an award-winning children’s book author. Janet Wong is a former lawyer whose dramatic career change has been featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show, CNN’s Paula Zahn Show, and Radical Sabbatical. She is the author of 30 books for children and teens on a wide variety of subjects.
