By bringing this lost poet to their attention now, Tate has done young readers a significant favor. Horton taught himself to read as a child despite being forbidden to do so. He memorized poems that he had mentally written. Eventually, he received writing instruction from a white woman who was also a poet so that he could record his poems on paper. While still a slave, he published two volumes of poetry; after being freed by the Emancipation Proclamation, he published a third volume. Tate included a list of the books and websites he referenced at the conclusion of the book, along with an author's note outlining Horton's background and the inspiration for this particular work. ( )

George's family were slaves in North Carolina. George wanted to learn to read and write but he was not allowed. He was on a farm working and would listen to the white children during their school learning time. Anything George could find to read, he did but he mostly loved poetry. One day George was sent to Chappel Hill to sell fruits and vegetables, and this is where he started to read his poetry out loud. Soon he was getting recognized by other students who began to help him and soon had his work published in newspapers. In order for George to continue writing, he negotiated to pay his master to leave the farm. With the changing times of a war to be fought, George will soon be free and can continue writing. As a teacher, this will be an excellent book to read in literature to encourage the power of writing. By following your passion, you can find a way to succeed and can teach students the power of words. ( )
