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 <i>A Wreath for Emmett Till</i> (story told through a heroic crown of sonnets), <i>Death Coming Up the Hill</i> (story told solely through haikus), or <i>October Mourning</i> (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!<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Carrie Grieme</div><div>Literature Educator</div><div>Library Sciences Student - ISU </div><div>Illinois School for the Deaf HS</div><div>Jacksonville, IL</div></div>
