Summary:
This collection of linked poems explores the rich, puzzling and painful experiences of love from teenagers' points of view.
Teaching Ideas:
Students will probably want to collect the pieces of character revealed in separate poems. They may also want to discuss or write about what triggered the poems and thereby practice their skills of inference. Which events ring true? What tensions between parents and teenagers appear? Students could write love poems from the point of view of each person involved.
