Anonymous Returns 

Editor:

The poem in last week's Journal by Te-geen Albers ("I am the Dammed Klamath River") gives us the name of a small book of poetry, I Know the Way of the Current, featuring 32 students at Orleans Elementary School. I like all the poems and always appreciate students' work, though I venture to say that Te-geen's is among the strongest in the collection (his poem appearing in a different format). The book can be ordered online by searching for the title.

An anonymous donor hired me to teach the two upper-grade classes last year and is hiring me to return this year. We can look forward to a new, larger book, as there are about twice as many students now. As area Coordinator of California Poets in the Schools, I thank you for publishing this poem with its powerful message, and thanks to all those who keep my colleagues and me working throughout the county and beyond.
