E.K. Keith is a poet and teacher librarian. She is deeply concerned about our environment and hopes that the poets share their poems for Planet Earth widely, freely, and randomly… like pollen. Read Keith's book, Ordinary Villains and her Poem of the Day. You can watch Keith's performances at SFPL's Poem Jam .
