Modern Monday --A Poke in the I

A collection of concrete poems
selected by Paul B. Janeczko Chris Raschka, illustrator,
Candlewick Press, 2005


My copy of this book is signed by Chris Raschka and for that reason I've had to stop using this particular copy of in the classroom and invest in a "school edition" that can be handled again and again by careless students. This is a wonderful example of the art of concrete poetry.

Some old favorites are in the book --"Swan and Shadow," being one of them--but I also found some new loves. I even enjoy the "Table of Contents" page which is in the shape of a table... why not? :)
