Wet cement : a mix of concrete poems / Bob Raczka.

Raczka, Bob, (author.).

Summary:

"A graphically designed volume of concrete poetry"-- Provided by publisher.
"Who says words need to be concrete? This collection shapes poems in surprising and delightful ways. Concrete poetry is a perennially popular poetic form because they are fun to look at. But by using the arrangement of the words on the page to convey the meaning of the poem, concrete or shape poems are also easy to write! From the author of the incredibly inventive Lemonade: And Other Poems Squeezed from a Single Word comes another clever collection that shows kids how to look at words and poetry in a whole new way"-- Provided by publisher.
