This book is filled with art from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. A variety of different authors came together and wrote poems based on the pieces of art featured in the book. This would be a great book to introduce poetry and art to the students. It could be used as an introduction to have the students write their own poem based on a piece of art. ( )

Intermediate; Poetry; This book is composed of many poems, each written by a different poet about a piece of art found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. They are not funny or light hearted but create an interesting perspective and discussion starter on both poetry and art. This would be a great book to discuss and read in class, and may inspire art of writing projects. ( )
