Exclusive: Oscar Nominee Viola Davis Voices 'Poem'

On poetry, three-time Oscar nominee Linney says, "My earliest memories of reading, and being read to, involves children's poetry. I can still recite the poems my family taught me as a small child. Children's poetry is an invitation to a world where words and emotion and expression combine, providing young minds with tools for communication that are just essential for life."
