"These aren't poems to read aloud, but to look at and laugh at
together, with young children and especially older readers, who
will enjoy the surprise of what words look like and what can be
done with them." --BOOKLIST (starred review)
Concrete poems startle and delight the eye and mind. The size and
arrangement of words and letters can add or alter meaning --
forming a poem that takes the shape of crows that fly off the page
or becoming a balloon filled with rhyme, drifting away from
outstretched hands. Here, in a single extraordinary volume, are
thirty poems from some of the world's finest visual poets,
including John Hollander, Emmett Williams, Maureen W. Armour, and
Douglas Florian. New to the paperback edition, tucked inside the
front cover, are tips, guidelines, and inspiration for writing your
own concrete poems.
A child’s life should be full of poems, rhymes and songs, and Poems of
