This collection of 24 poems celebrates language and literature in a unique way. Readers are introduced to literary devices such as onomatopeia, palindromes, sonnets, haikus, alliteration, and more. Each poem is accompanied by an entertaining and educational "note" that explains its origins. There is also a glossary of terms included. This is a highly imaginative introduction to poetry, language, and literature.
