My talk is good by Khodi Dill (grades 1-3)

Hailing from Nassau, Bahamas by way of Moose Jaw and Saskatoon, Khodi Dill is a writer, educator and spoken word artist whose approach to children's poetry is rooted in his love of hip-hop and its complex, rhythmic vernacular. Seeking to shatter stereotypes and give children faith in the power of their own words, Dill's poem "My Talk is Good", from his book, "Weclome to the Cypher", presents language as flexible, creative and boundless.
