Livelihood

Poetry. LIVELIHOOD explores the experience of teaching in a large inner city high school in Los Angeles. These poems chronicle the stories of students and classes, faculty meetings, and the tragedies that occur in the course of a school year, as well as the Los Angeles Unified teachers strike of 1989. The third part of the book is a journal in verse of one year in the classroom. "Congratulations to Phoebe MacAdams for these journeys through her creativity with their fine attention to the enormous importance of well-versed daily detail"--Ed Sanders.
