Singer, Marilyn Follow Follow: A Book of Reverso Poems,illustrated by Josee Masse.
Marilyn Singer is incredibly intelligent and creative. She has created her own form of poetry – reverso. Each line of the poem is carefully constructed, so that when read from top to bottom is gives one character’s perspective. Then, when all of the lines are reversed and re-punctuated, they give the perspective of the other character. You really need to get your hands on this book and share it with your colleagues and students. You will be amazed by what you read. This is uncharted territory here. And what an excellent challenge for an honors English class at any level.
