Fascinating, beautiful, and taking on a variety of shapes, Amanda Gunn explores verse with insight and exploration of self and world in Things I Didn't Do With This Body. From visuals to internal rhyme, with vivid descriptions and roving observation, Gunn elevates the page:


"A proper flute. Taught me,

too, how to discern and sort

and sugar down the fruit"


In the world of graphic novels, I had the chance to read The Moth Keeper. It is a lovely book, and I adore K. O’Neill’s art -- the infusion of fantasy is marketed mainly at youth. This is wonderful fantasy for upper elementary and middle grade readers, but also enjoyable for older readers, too. ].




Jae Nichelle writes with honesty and vulnerability in a book that uses a range of approaches to verse. There is a lyrical intensity to this work, and a bold voice carries through each entry. Perfect for readers who are looking for fresh and inviting verse.




Owen King crafts quite the universe. This was a pleasure to enjoy as King gives back story and social elements to this world — and it’s one I would gladly revisit. It's a mirror vision of the world, and my favorite work from this author so far. Social commentary meets fantasy meets political reflection meets fictional journey.
