Today's feature is sponsored by the National Foundation for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation. The site is geared toward encouraging high school students in the cultural arts by introducing the 'dynamic aspects of slam poetry, spoken word, and theatre into the English class. This exciting new program helps students master public speaking skills, build self-confidence, and learn about their literary heritage.' However, those who have completed their high school education should not skip this site. There are a host of poems on the site with information about the poet. The visitor has the opportunity to listen to some of the more works read by well-known performers such as Anthony Hopkins and Angela Lansbury; check out the Audio section in the Teachers and Students area. Here's definitely a site for poetry lovers of all ages!

As I left my office at the National Cancer Institute, I passed one of our researchers by the front door puffing away on a cigarette.
"How can you smoke when you, of all people, know the harm caused by cigarettes?" I asked.
He took another draw, exhaled, and replied through the smoke, "Because it gives me more motivation to find a cure."
