Here are some great collections:
One of the first illustrated books published about Canadian children and featuring Canadian place names. Dennis Lee is Toronto’s first Poet Laureate, an Officer of the Order of Canada and is also the author the author of children’s collections Garbage Delight, Jelly Belly, Bubblegum Delicious, and The Ice Cream Store.
In Dearly, Margaret Atwood’s first collection of poetry in over a decade, Atwood addresses themes such as love, loss, the passage of time, the nature of nature and - zombies. Her new poetry is introspective and personal in tone, but wide-ranging in topic. In poem after poem, she casts her unique imagination and unyielding, observant eye over the landscape of a life carefully and intuitively lived.
Funny, sad, loud, and quiet, each of these poems resounds with a booming, boisterous, joyful noise.
The poems resound with the pulse of the cicada and the drone of the honeybee. They can be fully appreciated by an individual reader, but they're particularly striking when read aloud by two voices. Winner of the 1989 Newbery Medal.
Using fairy tale characters and tropes, Poisoned Apples explores how girls are taught to think about themselves, their bodies, and their friends. The poems range from contemporary retellings to first-person accounts set within the original tales, and from deadly funny to deadly serious.
