Notable Quotable: Elizabeth Acevedo, 2016 Poetry Out Loud Finals Host


By Paulette Beete
quote by Liz Acevedo I've always loved that a poem can be carried in the body. That unlike a novel or a song that might require musical accompaniment reciting a poem needs nothing but a willing voice. Not even a microphone or clapping or a melody.
