(2) YA Sarah doesn't outwardly object to her boyfriend's kegger at poet Rufus Baylor's summer cottage, a historical site in town. After being busted, the miscreants are sentenced to Baylor's poetry-appreciation class. He inspires even the most poetry-averse delinquents, but especially Sarah, who becomes his protégé and friend. Readers will find much to savor in this ode to the transformative power of verse.
