Paul B. Janeczko’s book about poems, A Kick in the Head: An Everyday Guide to Poetic Forms is a collection of poems by numerous authors. I found this book to by very entertaining yet very educational. In its pages the book describes lots of different types of poem styles, ranging from haikus and limericks to sonnets and quatrains. Each page included a few of each type of poem written by different authors. The bottom of each page also described the layout of each type of poem.This book would make a great introductory book into a poetry unit for children or even as a resource when students are looking up different poems. I know there were several types of poems in it that I had never heard of before.
