Blue Lipstick: Concrete Poems by John Grandits

Is poetry just for old people and chumps? Never! These poems are fun and inviting, with strange shapes and a fantastic narrator. Jessie falls in love with blue lipstick, but decides it isn't for her, flashes with her brother, ends up with the worst of all possible bad hairstyles, turns in homework to her English teacher that her cat ate then ... "coughed" up, and still manages to write poetry with style and confidence.
