Illustrated by
Kyrsten Brooker.
Ryan O'Brian finds himself unable to stop writing poems--on paper, on a friend's shirt, and even on a table using French fries. The zippy rhyming narrative is kept separate from the many different types of Ryan's own poems (from acrostic to sonnet to limerick) woven into Brooker's vivid, dynamic collage illustrations. A guide at the back explains each poetic form.
