Title: A Lion's Hunger: Poems of First Love
Author: Ann Turner

- Each poem represents a new day
- The lines of poetry don't always have to match up
- The poem titles coordinate with days of the year
- Pictures help make visual images in your head more realistic
- Indentations help create suspense and add drama
- The line breaks help transition into other thoughts
- The topic of each poem remains the same to create a story

In this book, author Ann Turner shows that poetry can be told in a story format instead of all different stories in one book.

  1. Interesting ideas. Would like to learn more about what you thought were the overall arguments/summary. I never knew how a poem is formatted could affect how we feel when we read it....good to know.
