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.
