Things officially wrap up here tomorrow, with my participation in t
he Kidlit Progressive Poem, but for today I wanted to share my reading experiences, thank my guest post authors, and give out some prizes during our
Month in Verse.
Reading Experiences:
For the month, I planned on reading three verse novels: THE ONE AND ONLY IVAN (which I decided wasn't a verse novel but was a lovely book nonetheless), SONG OF THE SPARROW (which made it back to the library, to be read another year), and NEW FOUND LAND (which I'm close to finishing).
NEW FOUND LAND: LEWIS AND CLARK'S VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY is told in the multiple voices of the explorers' expedition and even includes Lewis's dog, Seaman. As I've read, I've marked figurative language I've especially enjoyed. Here's a taste:
The arrows passed through him as if
his body had been river mist.
Sandbars began to rise from the water like huge loaves of bread.
And the squirrel,
wet as a fresh turd, is humping it up the slope

That is SO beautiful. I'm going to request the book from the library right now!
I have enjoyed spending poetry month with you! And now I have a few more books to add to my growing TBR list.
So glad to hear it, Faith and Rebecca.
Thank you so much for hosting a month of novels in verse. I really loved it and learned a lot!
Hooray!
