[ISLMA-Share] Title Suggestions? Stories told through poems

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

In preparation for National Poetry Month in April, I'm looking for titles
of books that are stories told through poems.  I'm not looking for general
novels in verse or a poetry anthology on a general topic (like death or
love).  What I'm looking for are books like *A Wreath for Emmett Till* (story
told through a heroic crown of sonnets), *Death Coming Up the Hill* (story
told solely through haikus), or *October Mourning* (story told through a
variety of types of poems).  But, so far, these are the only titles written
like this that I've been able to find.  The books are for a high school
literature class, but the concept of a story told via poetry is more
important than the reading level.  Any and all ideas will be greatly
appreciated!
