Mirror Mirror: A Book of Reverso Poems
Fairy tales are given new life in this innovative genre of poetry. A reverso poem is the same poem read down and up. In this collection of poems, fairy tales form the basis of the poetry. The author slightly changes the punctuation and capitalization to create a poetic form that tells two sides of the story. Children will enjoy the poetic form and creating their own reversos.
