I would even use this in a 4th grade class depending on their skills and overall level. Either way, it is a perfect book for teaching poetry.Randomly Readinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13041218984035157545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774409390948285794.post-89726959429323786542015-04-05T08:41:36.578-04:002015-04-05T08:41:36.578-04:00I hope you do get a copy, it is such a wonderful b...I hope you do get a copy, it is such a wonderful book.Randomly Readinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13041218984035157545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774409390948285794.post-5353449848768807922015-04-05T08:40:59.758-04:002015-04-05T08:40:59.758-04:00It is a perfect April book, isn't it.

I loved it. I loved how she was seeking perfection and not willing to take a risk that her poems might not be good enough. I loved how the poet (whose name I can't remember right now) pulled the poems out of her.
