This month’s list was obvious: it’s an easy grab to find a few poetry books for teachers. I did pull the Cybils poetry winner because it’s such a great book. For the other two, I picked a novel in verse (which I’ve read and liked) and a poetry collection that I read had good crossover appeal. How did I do? What else could I have picked?

Here’s the list:

Flutter & Hum by Julie Paschkis

Full Cicada Moon by Marilyn Hilton

Aimless Love by Billy Collins
