At April's meeting of the Young Writers group, the group created bookspine poems that - you guessed it - use titles on the edges of books for lines of poetry. Given the limited amount of time they had, their final products were pretty great!
Below is a list of just some of the poetry books you can find at our library. Here's a tip: don't feel like you have to sit and read any of these cover-to-cover; dip in and out and try reading a new poem every day for a week.
