Good starting point...,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: How to Eat a Poem: A Smorgasbord of Tasty and Delicious Poems for Young Readers (Dover Children's Classics) (Paperback)
Poetry in the schools is certainly facing some challenges right now. How to eat a Poem attempts to widen the poetic cannon, but fails short on several accounts. Many of the poems are seen in my literary texts, stale and boring. I was hoping for some really new, fresh poems, and on a few accounts I did. The thematic arrangement of the poems was quite enjoyable and it allowed many of the poems to converse with one another, and in so doing, inspired a number of creative writing exercises for my bag of tricks. Overall, I would recommend the book if you're willing to work with it and tweak it for classroom use.
