When I first read this as a young ‘un I was barely aware of who Michelangelo was and what he did. This book, although fiction, gave me much reason to be awed by the great Italian painter and sculptor. The passages where I. Stone describes Michelangelo working on the The Pieta or The David are moving and inspiring. Maybe Irving Stone indulges in melodrama – but a big life deserves a big story.

The Get Lit Players perform classic, contemporary and original works of poetry at Vroman's Hastings Ranch. They were semi-finalists in the 2008 Brave New Voices International Teen Poetry Slam, where they placed among the top ten teams in the world for their own original poetry.
Get Lit-Words Ignite was founded by Diane Luby Lane in 2005 and has since been joined by California Poet Laureate Carol Muske-Dukes. It serves over 10,000 teens annually through its variety of school and after school programs.
Get Lit-Words Ignite is the official teen poetry program of the Los Angeles Public Library who hosts Get Lit Player workshops and performances at their branch locations.
