Blue Lipstick: Concrete Poems

Blue Lipstick: Concrete Poems - John Grandits

In Blue Lipsick, Jessie, a regular (or as regular you can get) high-school student, writes about the everyday happenings of her life, in the form of concrete poems.

Concrete poems are poems in the shape of the topic. For instance, if I were writing about a tree, my words would be in the form of a tree.

These poems range from topics of a hair-dying project gone horribly wrong, to a volleyball practice, in which the words go bouncing across the page.

I like this book because of the variety, and how Jessie deals with life, and everything confusing, maddening and just all the things in between. I give this book a ****** !
