A KICK IN THE HEAD An Everyday Guide to Poetic Forms Selected By: Paul B. Janeczko Illustrated By: Chris Raschka Copyright: 2005; Stated First Edition Published By: Candlewick Press This tall Hard Cover book (61 pages) is brightly illustrated and in very good condition inside and out. Original Dust Jacket. This is a former library book, and the bookjacket has the typical stickers, but the interior only has one noted ink stamp, to the back inside last page. Overall very good condition. About Book: In this splendid and playful volume ? second of a trilogy ? an acclaimed creative team presents examples of twenty-nine poetic forms, demonstrating not only the (sometimes bendable) rules of poetry, but also the spirit that brings these forms to life. Featuring poems from the likes of Eleanor Farjeon (aubade), X. J. Kennedy (elegy), Ogden Nash (couplet), Liz Rosenberg (pantoum), and William Shakespeare, the sonnet king himself, A Kick in the Head perfectly illustrates Robert Frost?s maxim that poetry without rules is like a tennis match without a net. Back matter includes notes on poetic forms. Fantastic gift for the poet or English teacher in your life!!!!! Your satisfaction is important to me.
