Absolutely brilliant concrete poetry. Every single one is as good as the one that came before, but the final poem, "Poetry," ...wow.

Clever - very clever. There is a ton of word play here. The introduction is helpful for explaining this form to students too. He thinks of poems as word paintings. He created pictures with letters in the titles of the poems and he created pictures with words in the body of the poems. These are a lot of fun and will inspire readers to try creating some concrete poems of their own.
Great book of concrete poems. Even the titles of the poems are in the concrete format.
A fabulous collection of clever, fun concrete poems!
2.5 stars
Great collection of "shape" poems, enjoy how the titles also are used to give shape. Some are hard to read because of the flow and the dark pages
