Book SynopsisTrade Review“Graham’s poems are masterful, demonstrating remarkable dexterity with form and meter, while simultaneously conveying the gleeful abandon with which Ryan pursues his mission…And they are complimented superbly by Kyrsten Booker’s lively collage and paint illustrations. In addition to being an exciting story about a boy who feels compelled to compose poems, Graham’s The Poem that Will Not End is also a terrific introduction to poetic forms and voices…Belongs in every classroom and school library, and in the hands of every young reader who wants to know more about poetry.” —Kenn Nesbitt, Children’s Poet Laureate “Full of energy and humor, this is an engaging introduction to the variety and expressive use of poetry.” —Booklist “A picture book which may have language arts teachers doing a happy dance.” —Julie Danielson, blogger Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast
