The first poetry anthology for teens to address one of their foremost concerns-the body. Experienced anthologist and teacher Patrice Vecchione has put together an immensely powerful group of poems, all of which address a unifying theme of major interest to teens-the body. Drawing on poems both serious and silly and poets from Shakespeare to Lucille Clifton, The Body Eclectic looks at what our bodies are, what they are not, how we love them and taunt them, what they give us, and what they take away. A wonderful collection of poems on a hot topic for teens, and a perfect gift and companion in one of the most universal struggles of adolescence.Vecchione, Patrice is the author of 'Body Eclectic An Anthology of Poems', published 2002 under ISBN 9780805069358 and ISBN 0805069356.
