Spinning Through the Universe: A Novel in Poems from Room 214

Spinning Through the Universe: A Novel in Poems from Room 214

Engrossing tales from the fifth grade

Every child is like

A little world with ever-changing weather,

Nights and mornings. And somehow, here we are,

Spinning through the universe together.

Unforgettable students in this fifth-grade classroom reveal their private feelings about birth and death, a missing bicycle and a first kiss, as well as their thoughts about recess, report cards, fitting in, and family.

Using a rich array of traditional poetic forms, such as sonnets, sestinas, and acrostics, Helen Frost interweaves the stories of the kids in Room 214 and their teacher. A final section giving detailed analyses of the twenty-two forms will be of special interest.
