Illustrated by
Judy Love.
Twenty-three poems parody classic British and American verse by William Blake, John Masefield, Emily Dickinson, and others. The parodies are clever, although some will be better appreciated by readers familiar with the source material (not included); the book may be best used as a resource in writing classes, with the originals close by. Amusing black-and-white illustrations accompany each poem.
