How to Write a Poem
eBook 정보
Begin
with a question
like an acorn
waiting for spring.

Kwame Alexander and Deanna Nikaido’s playful text and Melissa Sweet’s dynamic, inventive artwork are paired together to encourage readers to listen, feel, and discover the words that dance in the world around them—poems just waiting to be written down.
