Like this “so sweet/and so gloppy”, YES, gloppy IS the perfect word for jelly donuts. The language chosen is thick with intention, and riddled with subtle genius. The poems in this book are beautiful in their purity, sincerity, and eagerness for reprieve. Typically only funny animal poems, or poems written by children who are clearly just learning to speak have captured me, but this book breaks all the molds. I have fallen in love with poetry written and geared toward children. This book is a compilation of the two, with beautiful illustrations by Pamela Zagarenski.įor this first time in a long time, it has finally happened. Merz has her class write apology poems to people (or things!) they have wronged, and they enjoyed the assignment so much that they requested a response. THIS IS JUST TO SAY: POEMS OF APOLOGY AND FORGIVENESS.
