Great Book

This a wonderful book written in the first person perspective. This is a great addition to any teacher that is teaching a poetry unit. My students loved the book and used concepts from the book to generate great poems. A must have for any teacher.

Fantastic mask poems for children

This book was exactly what I was looking for to use with my students. It was great for teaching children how to write mask (or persona) poems. It arrived quickly and was in fantastic condition.
