DOWNLOAD EBOOKWho says words need to be concrete? This collection shapes poems in surprising and delightful ways. Concrete poetry is a perennially popular poetic form because they are fun to look at. But by using the arrangement of the words on the page to convey the meaning of the poem, concrete or shape poems are also easy to write! From the author of the incredibly inventive Lemonade: And Other Poems Squeezed from a Single Word comes another clever collection that shows kids how to look at words and poetry in a whole new way.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis Is Just to Say If you’re looking for a nice happy book put this one down and run away quickly Forgive me sweetness and good cheer are boring Inspired by William Carlos Williams’s famous poem ”This Is Just to Say,” Newbery Honor author Gail Carson Levine delivers a wickedly funny collection of her own false apology poems, imagining how tricksters really feel about the mischief they make. Matthew Cordell’s clever and playful line art lightheartedly captures the spirit of the poetry. This is the perfect book for anyone who’s ever apologized . . . and not really meant it.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThrough poems and poetic prose pieces, acclaimed children's author Arnold Adoff celebrates that uniquely American form of music called the blues. In his signature “shaped speech” style, he creates a narrative of moments and joyous music, from the drums of the ancestors, the red dirt of the plantations, the current of the mighty Mississippi, and the shackles, blood, and tears of slavery. Each chop of the ax is a beat, each lash of the whip fashions another line on the musical staff. But each sound also creates the chords and harmonies that preserve the ancestors and their stories, and sustain life, faith, and hope into our own times.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book is unique. It offers readers opportunities to explore the most common universal themes taught in secondary English Language Arts classrooms using poetry; however, it doesn’t simply suggest poems grouped by common themes. Each poetry section presents a poetic conversation among the poets on each of the given eight themes. One of the poets initiates each section with an original poem, and the next poet responds to the first, initial, poem. The other poets join the conversation responding to the first, second, or any of the poems previously included in this section. The poems feature the themes of poetry, places, nature, beauty, and harmony, love, loyalty and betrayal, home and family, loss and grief, and dreams and hopes for the future. The three final chapters aim to explain how to use these poems, and poetry in general, in the classrooms and beyond its walls; to invite novice and experienced poets to create various forms of poetry; and to share views on poetry, its teaching, reading, and writing. The various poetry forms are explored in this volume to create poems that help deliver the author’s message. All poems are written exclusively for a diverse readership of the book.
