Begun July 2011, the One Pause Poetry mp3 Project is a national digital resource for teachers, students, readers, and listeners. Each poet is asked to record and submit three mp3 files to the site: one poem of his or her own, one by another poet, and one poem for kids. It is our hope that this project will expand to include all schools and styles of poetry.
