THE POEM THAT WILL NOT END: Fun with Poetic Forms and Voices

Ryan O'Brian is riding a wave of inspiration with no shoreline in sight--he can't STOP writing poetry. In the cafeteria with French fries. In the bathroom with toothpaste. Even on the soccer field with mud! Has he reached an artistic crescendo with a sonnet on a staircase and a villanelle on the shower curtain? What next?  The opposite of Writer's Block . . . there is a book-length story poem, 22 poems embedded in the artwork, and Ryan's helpful guide to 15 poetic forms and five voices.  Perfect to celebrate the joy of poetry and spark creative thinking. I've found POEM has a really wide age range and have received positive comments from teachers/librarians from pre-school through high school.
