A Kick in the Head: An Everyday Guide to Poetic Forms selected by Paul B Janeczko, illustratd by Chris Raschka

From chapters.ca:
In this splendid and playful volume, acclaimed poetry anthologist Paul B. Janeczko and Caldecott Honor illustrator Chris Raschka present lively examples of twenty- nine poetic forms, demonstrating not only the (sometimes bendable) rules of poetry, but also the spirit that brings these forms so wonderfully to life. Featuring formal poems, some familiar and some never before published.

I can't rave about this book enough! Share the poems with children, get it to help with English homework, get it as a graduation gift for anyone you know who loves poems.
