5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Taylor Mali's Greatest HitsBy Kevin L. NenstielThis book collects the high points from the career of performance poet Taylor Mali. All his classics are here: What Teachers Make, Like Lilly Like Wilson, Playing Scrabble With Eddie. Many of his other poems in this book have a narrower audience, but are probably already well known if you consciously follow the performance poetry scene. This volume was published in 2002, so more recent show-stoppers like How to Write a Political Poem aren't in here; however, the poems that made his name in the 1990's are pretty much all here.The largest section of this book is comprised of poems on teaching. These are the books that made Mali famous, of course. But there is also a section of surprisingly touching love poems and a section on loss and grief. Because these poems mostly lack his trademark goofy wit, they lack the legendary following of his most famous poems, but they arguably translate better to the page, and reflect a lesser known side of the renowned poetry jokester.Not all of these performance poems seamlessly translate to the page. What Teachers Make, for instance, requires parenthetical notes for clarification. And some of the short poems, like Gene Pool and Because My Students Asked Me, seem abrupt and corny. It's almost worth more to regard these poems as scripts for a theatrical performance than to see them as poems like Eliot and Ginsberg would have written. But they are still entertaining and instructive to read.This book is great for fans of Taylor Mali, lovers of slam poetry, or as a gift for anybody who says no one is writing good poetry these days. I've read dark fingerprints into the pages of my volume. You will probably read your copy to pieces. It's that good.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. ... someone read a Taylor Mali poem that I thoroughly enjoyed. I had never heard of him so I ...By FrankThis past spring I attended an open mic poetry session where someone read a Taylor Mali poem that I thoroughly enjoyed. I had never heard of him so I looked him up on the internet and bought his book "What Teachers Make." A mixture of poetry and prose, it was delightful and I wanted more. "What Learning Leaves." is poetry only and is also absolutely excellent. Mali blends humor with a deep love for education and the students and teachers involved with it. My two favorites in this collection are the title poem from "What Teachers Make" and a wonderfully whimsical commentary "On Girls Lending Pens." I keep it by my bedside to read whenever I need a laugh or inspiration. I never fail to find both.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great read, inspirational.By JbeazyI am just a few months from graduating college and becoming a teacher. I am teacher #523 on Taylor Mali's list of 1000 teachers. If you don't know what that is you should check out his website and see what he is about, but since your here, I know you've at least heard of him or you've seen a video on you tube.This book is a compilation of some of Taylor poems that are majorly based towards teachers. Its got most of his best ones including 'What teachers make', 'Like Lilly Like Wilson', 'Like you know...', 'the impotence of proofreading', and lots of others.Its a short book, and you don't have to even LIKE poetry to read this and enjoy it. In fact, if you read this and don't feel inspired, then I would think there is something wrong with you.I would recommend this to people who want to be teachers, and people who are teachers. It will most assuredly inspire you to teach even if you're not teaching professionally, and for those who are and have been teachers it will bring back some great memories. It may even rekindle the flame of a teacher who has forgotten why they started teaching in the first place. As teachers we all need a little boost once in awhile. This would be great to have in the desk and take out on those rough days and remind you who you are.
